POLICE broke into a vehicle in Belconnen early yesterday (January 11) morning after finding a man asleep inside with an unsecured rifle.
Officers were alerted to the vehicle at Moulden Court, just before 5am, when they found a man asleep in the driver’s seat, with the engine running.
Police woke the man, searched his car and also found a shotgun, two firearms and ammunition.
The man, who is currently on a good behaviour bond, was arrested and faces charges such as unauthorised possession of a firearm and ammunition, unlicensed driving and failure to comply with storage requirements.
He faces court later this week.
