COMMUNITY TIP OFF LEADS TO ARREST OF THREE SUSPECTS IN IVORY PARK – KAE NEWS

Two males in their 20s and a 48 year-old woman were arrested in the morning of the 17th of March 2020 by the Ivory Park Police. The three suspects were arrested in Ivory Park Extension 2 for possession of three unlicensed firearms and 17 rounds of live ammunition.

Police members on patrol received information via local patrollers that they’re people in the area known to have firearms, and that they may be responsible for robberies in the area. On catching up with one of the suspects the police soon learnt that indeed those firearms exist, and have been placed in possession of a woman known to the suspect. It has been established that the suspects collect the firearms from the woman when there is a crime to be committed.

On arrival at the woman’s address in Ivory Park Ext 2, the officers, in the presence of one of the suspects, introduced themselves. The suspect then demanded the pistols they left in her possession which she took them out. She was together with the suspect swiftly arrested for illegal possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition. 

Based on the information provided by the suspect, the officers then proceeded to another address, also in Extension Two, where they recovered a home-made gun and arrested another male suspect.
