Two Chinese nationals aged 26 and 33 are expected to appear before the Krugersdorp Magistrates’ Court today, 04 December 2024 on charges of possession of precious metals and unlicensed firearms.
The duo was arrested on Monday night at about 23:00 when two Sergeants of SAPS Tarlton Rural Safety Unit were conducting patrols on the N14 road towards Brandvlei.
The suspects were stopped and searched and the members found two rifles of which the suspects could not provide licenses for. Upon further investigation after the arrest, the police recovered two packets of precious metals hidden in a secret compartment of the suspects’ vehicle.
The members are applauded for their vigilance and swift response, which led to the arrest and recovery of unlicensed firearms and the precious metals.
