While on foot patrol in Harare, the members seized a homemade firearm and one round of ammunition that were found abandoned.  

In Lingelethu West, a 41-year-old man was arrested in possession of an unlicensed 38 Special revolver and ammunition, while a 24-year-old man was arrested in possession of an imitation firearm, SANDF uniform and ammunition.
