Cessnock Greyhound Worker Faces Firearm Charges

BY IAN CROUCH

 A Cessnock  greyhound worker is due to front court next month accused of possessing an unauthorised firearm.

The 69-year-old from Abermain came to the attention of police during their inquiries into the deaths of dozens of greyhounds at the Keinbah Trial Track.

It's alleged he had possession of a .22 calibre rifle between 2010 and 2013.

The man's been charged with possession and unauthorised use of a firearm and is due to face Cessnock Local Court on October 26.
