Three suspected gangsters were arrested in KwaZulu-Natal on Thursday after they were found in possession of firearms and ammunition.
The arrests were made at Bester in Inanda on Thursday.
According to the police's provincial spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda, Trio Task Team members from Ntuzuma and Newlands East executed the intelligence-led operation.

Upon searching them, two of them were found to be in possession of firearms, whereas the other one was found in possession of ammunition,” the statement read.
