January 09, 2009 06:29am
A LARGE cache of weapons, explosives and a number of
illegally-owned native animals were found in a raid
at a home in Newcastle, New South Wales, police say.
Drug unit and special operations police allegedly
found a secret room hidden behind timber panelling
on the second floor of the property in Hanbury
Street, Mayfield.
"Police allege the room contained 16 rifles and
shotguns, six handguns, including replicas,
silencers, a crossbow, a slingshot, a large quantity
of gun parts and thousands of rounds of ammunition,"
police said.
"On the ground level of the home, police allegedly
located two more rifles, including a loaded weapon
hidden under a bed. A target pistol was also seized."
National Parks and Wildlife Service officers were
called to the property after police found a number
of animals believed to be held without relevant
permits.
The animals included bearded dragons, turtles,
chameleons, water dragons and frogs.
Elsewhere at the address police allege they found
goods suspected of being stolen, including jewellery
and rare coins, brand new plasma televisions, a
large quantity of power tools and a motorcycle.
"Also found was a stash of power gel explosives,
detonator cord and a mortar," police said.
"Those items have been collected for disposal by
explosives experts from RAAF Williamtown."
