Five guns found in dustbin

Five firearms have been found in a dustbin in Thokoza on the East Rand, Gauteng police said on Tuesday.

Police, acting on a tip-off, made the discovery near a house on Monday night, Lieutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said.

The three rifles, a revolver and a pistol were believed to have been used in the bombing of ATMs in Brackendowns, Alrode and City Deep, all in the south of Joburg, last month.
