Johannesburg - Five firearms have been found in a dustbin in Thokoza on the East Rand, Gauteng police said on Tuesday.

Police, acting on a tip-off, made the discovery near a house on Monday night, Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said.

The three rifles, a revolver and a pistol were believed to have been used in the bombing of ATMs in Brackendowns, Alrode and City Deep, all in the south of Johannesburg, last month.

Five men, aged between 33 and 51, had since appeared in court in connection with the bombings, Dlamini said. They remained in custody, and would appear again on November 9.

Police confiscated a black Mercedes-Benz and a Nissan Sani at a townhouse in Germiston, where the men were arrested last month, Dlamini said.
"The Mercedes-Benz was hijacked in Germiston in June."
