A 32-year-old Charnwood man, who was on bail for other offences, has been arrested for being in possession of a large hunting knife in Belconnen in Sunday night.
Acting on reports of a man at the Belconnen bus interchange allegedly with a knife in his pants, police searched the bag of a man walking along Coulter Drive and found the knife. He told police he was carrying it in public for self-defence.
The 32-year-old man – who was subject to bail conditions and a good behaviour order at the time of the incidents – has been charged with possessing a knife without a reasonable excuse and breaching his bail conditions. He will face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning (Monday, November 24, 2025).
