Man escapes from Police, leaving gun and ammo behind
A suspect managed to evade capture early this morning after dropping a firearm and ammunition during a police chase in the Ruimveldt Riverview area.
At approximately 2:30h, police acting on information received, arrived in the area and observed a male in a black jersey and black long pants. Upon noticing the approaching officers, the suspect fled west into the Riverview community, prompting a foot chase.
During the pursuit, the suspect discarded a black plastic bag, which the officers quickly retrieved. Upon inspection, the bag contained a black and silver handgun, which had no serial number, along with three 9mm rounds of matching ammunition.
The officers continued their search of the area, but the suspect was not found. Several individuals in the vicinity were questioned, but no useful information was gathered to assist in identifying the suspect.
The recovered firearm and ammunition have been marked, sealed, and lodged at the Ruimveldt Police Station. They will be submitted to the Ballistics Section for further analysis.
