King Cetshwayo Cluster police spokesperson Captain Siyanda Shangase said the suspect's friends are still at large.
'He was also charged with possession of an illegal firearm and 15 live rounds of ammunition. His girlfriend was arrested for possession of suspected stolen property.
'The police are working around the clock following information on the whereabouts of the other suspects,' said Shangase.
Both suspects are expected to appear in the Richards Bay Magistrate's Court this week.
In a separate incident, Shangase said the same team executed a stop-and-search on the R102 in KwaDlangezwa.
'Eight suspects were issued with J534 fines for contravention of the National Road Traffic Act.
'Three foreign nationals were arrested for contravention of the Immigration Act,' he said, adding that they would appear in the Mtunzini Magistrate's Court.
