The men had allegedly been on the run for three months and were found hiding in the Nsuze, Bhamshela, Ntuzuma and Tongaat areas.
They were wanted for crimes such as murder and attempted murder, hijacking, and business and house robbery, Zwane said.
Four unlicensed 9mm pistols were allegedly found in their possession. Two of the weapons had been stolen in Umhlali and Tongaat.
The five would appear in the Ndwedwe Magistrate's Court on Friday on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition. Other cases allegedly linked to the men were still being investigated.
