Alexander Mbewe, Moses Kaonga and Moses Willard would soon appear before court to answer charges of illegal possession of offensive weapons.Three men are in police custody in Mzimba for illegal possession of a revolver and ammunition at Embangweni Trading Centre on Wednesday.
The three, according to Northern Region Police public relations officer Norah Chimwala, were arrested following a tip off from the public after seeing them loitering around the centre.
Chimwala said after apprehending them, they were found with the gun, which they wrapped in a plastic paper.
When questioned about it, Chimwala said the three could not say what they wanted to do with the gun.
“The three men were found in possession of a revolver (pistol), one round of ammunition, a knife and a string, which have since been seized by the police,” said Chimwala.
According to Chimwala, it seems the suspects intended to do rob some shops at the trading centre.
Chimwala has since warned people who are illegally keeping guns that once found, they would not be spared but face the law.
“It is illegal to keep a gun without a licence even if it is meant for self defence. All those that have unlicensed guns should obtain licenses for their firearms otherwise we will arrest them if found,” said Chimwala.
