A Port Elizabeth teenager has been arrested in the city's northern areas for being in possession of a firearm reported stolen in Walmer in January.

Spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse Van Rensburg says the youth was arrested in Helenvale on Friday after police responded to complaints of three men robbing people in Kobus Road.

She says they will also be probing his possible link to two other cases also reported on Friday.

The 17-year-old is expected to appear in court on Monday.
