Northern Territory Police in Katherine have seized multiple firearms, drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Local Katherine members, supported by the Northern Substance and Intelligence Desk (NSAID) and Dog Operations Unit, targeted offenders involved in illicit drug activity and the unsafe storage of firearms.
A 24-year-old man will face court after allegedly returning a positive roadside drug test while driving and being found in possession of methamphetamine. Police subsequently executed a search warrant at his property, where they located and seized seven unsecured firearms and ammunition.
The man has been charged with a range of drug and firearms offences and is due to appear in court in August.
Northern Territory Police remind all firearms licence holders to ensure firearms are stored in accordance with Northern Territory legislation and that their details remain up to date with the Firearms Registry.
