No Fear No Favour No Crime Intelligence Operator involved......?
Johannesburg - Police are still searching for an eastern
European man they believe could shed light on the Norwood arms cache, police
said on Tuesday.
“His arrest will answer the questions we have about the
guns,” Hawks spokesman Paul Ramaloko told Sapa.
He said the man's arrest was central to their
investigations.
Three people were arrested on Thursday when police found
more than 300 firearms, ammunition, and explosives at a house in Norwood, north
of Johannesburg.
A Ukrainian couple and their domestic helper were arrested
on allegations of renting out the weapons to hardened criminals for
cash-in-transit heists and ATM bombings.
Police found R1 rifles, R4 rifles, R5 rifles, AK-47 rifles
and about 300 handguns, detonators, a machine used to manufacture ammunition,
packaged dagga, and explosives used for ATM bombings.
The three, Emma Shumler-Tishko, 62, her husband Mark, 59,
and Endi Nkhoma, 26, appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Monday.
The case was postponed to next week Tuesday for a bail application.
They face four charges - possession of unlicensed firearms,
possession of ammunition, dealing in dagga, and contravention of the Explosives
Act.
Ramaloko said the three would have to explain to the court
why the weapons and explosives were on their premises. - Sapa
