A 31-year old man was arrested after police seized a “slam fire” shotgun, other weapons and drugs during a raid in Kambah yesterday (October 29).
He faces court charged with unauthorised possession of firearms, unauthorised manufacture of firearms and breach of a good behaviour order.
In the early morning of Friday, August 20, a silver Subaru Forester failed to stop for police in Belconnen. Later that morning, the Forester was found in McKellar and in it police discovered a shotgun in two pieces, several shotgun shells and multiple knives.
As a result of the ongoing investigation, police executed a search warrant yesterday at a home in Kambah and found:
- an improvised “slam fire” shotgun
- a gel blaster assault rifle
- a replica pistol
- improvised knives and throwing spears
- metal pipes
- multiples bags of white crystalline substance and drug paraphernalia
