Members of the Gauteng Traffic Wardens STT (Northern Corridor) and Tshenolo P.I. were stationed along the road at the Solomon Mahlangu off-ramp when a Isuzu passed with high speed.
The team immediately initiated a pursuit, calling Highway Patrol for assistance. Upon stopping the vehicle, officers searched it and discovered a Glock 48 9mm handgun.
Officers contacted the registered owner of the firearm, who confirmed it had been stolen during a hijacking. All four occupants of the vehicle were arrested.
Further developments revealed by the driver that one of the suspects had pointed the firearm at him and forced him to drive after spotting cash in the car. The driver was escorted to the CSC, where he opened a case of pointing a firearm and attempted robbery.
Three were apprehended for charges of possession of a stolen firearm.
