An associate of the Bandido outlaw motorcycle gang and his son have been charged with firearms offences in the Hunter.
Officers attached to Strike Force Gawi conducted a targeted vehicle stop at Telarah yesterday morning, where a 48-year-old man was issued with a Firearms Prohibitions Order.
Police then searched his car and a home on Brooks Street, where a firearm and shotgun shells were allegedly seized.
It’s alleged the gun was stolen during a break-in in 2011.
The man was charged with a string of offences and is due to face Maitland Local Court later this month.
Meanwhile officers also raided a home on Bendigo Road at Barnsley just before 10am yesterday, allegedly seizing a revolver, ammunition, a BB gun, a replica pistol, cannabis and steroids.
A 24-year-old man is facing numerous offences including possessing an unregistered firearm.
