The actions, carried out over a week, led to the confiscations of 19 illegal firearms and 790 rounds of ammunition throughout the province with the focus on identified hotspots and crime generators. The seizures included rifles, pistols, gas guns and imitation firearms.

On Friday the Anti Gang Unit was deployed in Bishop Lavis where they confiscated two pistols and charged a 34-year-old suspect linked to local gangs with possession of prohibited firearms. Potelwa said Lockdown II forces deployed in Delft carried out stop-and-search operations in the area and seized 16 knives and dangerous weapons and also discovered a gas gun abandoned in Viscount Street at the Hague.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested by the Atlantis Crime Prevention Unit for having a 9mm pistol in his possession. Other firearms were seized in operations in Nyanga, Gugulethu, Delft, Steenberg and Khayelitsha.
