WESTERN CAPE - Efforts to bring perpetrators of the law to book landed four suspects between 29 and 43 behind bars yesterday morning in Brackenfell. Members of Maitland Flying Squad followed up information about a suspicious vehicle and pulled it over and searched it. The members found counterfeit money in the vehicle. One of the suspect’s premises was also searched and ammunition and bank cards were confiscated.

The suspects are due to make their court appearance in the Bellville Magistrate’s Court once they have been charged.

In an unrelated matter members of the Anti-Gang Unit were deployed in the Manenberg policing precinct yesterday and conducted an intelligence operation at identified premises in Heideveld. These premises were searched and two 9mm pistols were confiscated respectively. Two males aged 22 and 25 were arrested and detained on charges of possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.

The suspects are due to make their respective court appearances in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court tomorrow.
