Five men were arrested in Crawford, on Wednesday November 3, for possession of an unlicensed gun, police say.
The men had raised the suspicions of a Repulse Road shopowner who had reported them to the police, said Lansdowne police spokesman Sergeant Nkululeko Mnyaka.
Officers had spotted the men sitting in a VW Polo that had no registration number, and when they had searched the vehicle, they had found a 9mm pistol under the driver’s seat, he said.
