Police in South Africa’s Eastern Cape raid a security company as part of a compliance inspection and seize firearms from the firm’s holdings. According to one report, 140 firearms are taken during the operation.
The same source says a 60-year-old businessman in Mthatha is arrested after police find that firearms are recorded as missing from the company’s stock register. The report states that 135 firearms remain unaccounted for, suggesting a discrepancy between the company’s records and what is found by police.
Other outlets were not provided in the materials received, so there is no additional information here on charges brought, the inspection authority or timeline, or whether investigators consider the weapons to be linked to any specific criminal case.
