Overview
- Gauteng Crime Intelligence launched a tracing operation Friday after the clip, arresting two men in Tembisa and seizing suspected unlicensed guns plus a hijacked car.
- The suspects, aged 21 and 34, face counts under the Firearms Control Act for illegal possession of firearms and ammunition and are due in the Tembisa Magistrate’s Court next week.
- The South African reported that officers later intercepted a car in Kaalfontein and arrested the two women seen in the video, which SAPS has not confirmed across all outlets.
- SAPS spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe warned that reckless gun handling endangers the public and said only licensed, competent people may handle firearms under law.
- Police added that owners can be charged for allowing access and that misuse of toy or imitation guns can also bring charges, urging tip-offs to Crime Stop at 08600 10111.
