Flying Squad and dog unit officers arrested three suspected hijackers in Bellville.
The men, who are all in their 30s, were apprehended last week following a tip-off about a suspicious vehicle.
The Opel Astra was pulled over in Robert Sobukwe Street at 12.30pm, said Bellville police’s Lieutenant Colonel Fienie Nimb.
When officers searched the car and the men, they found three unlicensed 9mm firearms, two with serial numbers filed off.
Lieutenant Colonel Nimb said one of the guns had also been reported stolen and the car had been in Kraaifontein earlier this year.
