Police seized two guns and arrested a 27-year-old man as the result of a dangerous driving incident in Tuggeranong on Thursday afternoon.
Police had stopped a white Ford Falcon utility in Gordon, when it took off, driving dangerously in suburbs throughout Tuggeranong before being abandoned in Wanniassa having hit a tree.
The driver was located with assistance from the community and subsequently arrested.
Police say a bag, which was located near the vehicle, was searched and found to contain two firearms and ammunition. A quantity of substances, believed to be illicit drugs, were located in the vehicle and also seized.
The man has been charged with failing to stop for police, dangerous driving and two counts of unauthorised possession of a prohibited firearm.
