At about 1930h yesterday, the police say that two ranks were in a motor vehicle travelling along Watooka Road, Mackenzie, Linden, when they observed two men on a motorcycle, one of whom was carrying a haversack.
The police say that the ranks became suspicious and decided to follow the two men who, upon realising that the ranks were behind them, threw away the haversack and escaped on the motorcycle.
The bag was retrieved and searched and an AK47 Rifle along with a magazine and twenty three 7.62 x 39 rounds were found, police say.
Investigations are in progress.
