Two suspects were arrested in separate incidents and two firearms recovered in Gelvandale and Missionvale respectively.
It is alleged that on Friday, 11 December 2020 at about 10:25, SAPS Gelvandale Tracing Team members were in Gail Road when they noticed a vehicle pass them and the passenger appeared nervous and kept looking back.
The members made a U-turn and stopped the vehicle. On searching the 24-year-old male, they found a 9mm pistol in his possession.
The firearm is reported stolen in Humewood in October 2020.
He is detained on charge of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
In another incident, at about 10:45 this morning, Anti-Gang Unit members were patrolling in Tromp Street in Missionavale when they stopped a male carrying a bag.
The person was searched and a 7.65 firearm and ammunition was found inside the bag. Ownership of the firearm is still to be determined.
The 40-year-old suspect is detained on a charge of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Both suspects will appear in their respective courts in Gelvandale and New Brighton on Monday, 14 December 2020.
