On 16 March 2011 at 4:30pm, the ‘Umhali Dog Unit’ got a tip off about a black male, who was in procession of unlicensed firearms, residing in Bulwer farm. The Newark SAPS found the suspect, Xolani Sibusiso Mhlongo (65) with two firearms.
One a silver 9mm ‘Baikal’ pistol with two rounds of ammunition and a ‘Norinco’ 9mm pistol with one round. Both firearms were unlicensed thereby resulting in the arrest of Mhlonhgo by the police.
It is alleged that one of the weapons was robbed off another black male at Maphumulo who in turn was linked with another armed robbery that happened in Maphumulo and is now residing in Maqumbi.
It is alleged that this man had been arrested before and spent time in prison from 1998 till 2009. This parolee is still signing at Maphumulo because of his involvement in many cases of robbery and murder.
Allegedly he came to Bulwer farm probing the pension payout point.
The Newark SAPS, appealed to the community to report any suspicious persons, and were very grateful to the Umhali Dog Unit for their assistance in apprehending Mhlongo.
