Father and his son for possession of illegal firearms
My question: how did they get these uniforms?
Police in Eldorado Park arrested a father and his son for possession of illegal firearms, police uniform and blue lights yesterday evening. This happened after members on routine patrol spotted a vehicle with a blue light and a police cap on the dashboard. They stopped the vehicle and discovered that it was not a police vehicle.

On questioning a 23 old man, he alleged that the vehicle belongs to his father. As the police were proceeding to the police station to detain the suspect, his father came and produced his appointment certificate and identified himself as a Warrant Officer. At a later stage it was discovered that he is a former reservist who enlisted in the police in the early 90s. He was arrested and police proceeded to his house and searched it. The following items were seized during the search:
- One 2.2 Winchester Rifle

Re: Father and his son for possession of illegal firearms
Police in Eldorado Park arrested a father and his son for possession of illegal firearms...
- Ammunitios: 34 R5 rounds, 560 Revolver rounds, 67 SSG rounds of shotgun, 49 rounds of shotgun compression.
- Other: police torch and rifle holster.
And what is a rifle holster? Never heard of one of those before... AND it cannot be illegal...
Regardless, I think this guy has a bit of trouble...

Members of Blue Light Gang? Sounds like two less scumbags roaming the streets looking for victims.

Agreed, reporting is shocking, but like Ms said, to less badguys.

Re: Father and his son for possession of illegal firearms
The sad thing is this isn't reporting, this is a media release by SAPS themselves.
