A man charged in relation to six firearms and ammunition seized from a house in Sydney’s south last week will appear in court today, NSW Police say.
On Friday 16 June 2017, officers from St George Local Area Command were assisted by the Bass Hill Region Enforcement Squad to execute a search warrant on a home at Davies Road, Padstow.
Upon entering the premises, officers were attacked by two dogs which retreated to the rear yard after police deployed OC spray.
Inside the home, officers located six firearms, including three rifles, two pistols and a homemade shotgun, as well as a quantity of ammunition. Items consistent with the manufacture of illicit drugs and a number of items suspected of being stolen, including a car, were also found.
All items were seized for forensic examination. No one was home at the time of the search warrant.
Following extensive inquiries, police arrested a 30-year-old man at Kogarah Police Station last night.
He was charged with numerous firearms offences as well as goods suspected stolen in/on premises.
He was refused bail to appear at Sutherland Local Court tomorrow.
Investigations are continuing, including ballistic examination of all of the firearms.
