SEVEN SUSPECTS ARRESTED WITH UNLICENSED FIREARM AND AMMUNITION FOLLOWING INTELLIGENCE-DRIVEN OPERATION IN MAKUMEKE VILLAGE
Swift response by the police in Malamulele, Limpopo, led to the arrest of seven male suspects aged between 30 and 54 for possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition on Friday morning, 02 October 2026.
Police received information about a white Suzuki Ertiga seven-seater motor vehicle with seven male occupants driving around Makumeke village near a filling station and heading towards Malamulele, suspected to be planning to commit a robbery.
Police immediately commenced with the search for the motor vehicle in the Malamulele policing area until it was positively spotted parked next to a spaza shop.
Traffic Officers who were conducting vehicle checkpoints in the area were requested to be on the lookout for the motor vehicle and instructed to stop it along the Malamulele public road.
Police tactically approached the white Suzuki Ertiga and instructed all male occupants to disembark. Permission was requested to search the vehicle, and police discovered a firearm and ammunition concealed under the middle seat.
All seven male occupants denied any knowledge of the firearm and ammunition and were immediately placed under arrest for possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.
During the arrest, police also seized the white Suzuki Ertiga seven-seater motor vehicle, a firearm and ammunition.
The seven male suspects are expected to appear before the Malamulele Magistrate's Court on Monday, 05 October 2026, facing charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.
