A man has been charged with several offences after allegedly intimidating two women with a gun at Maryville on Friday.
Around 10pm, two women, aged 27 and 25, were unloading something from their car parked on Linwood Street when they were approached by a man who produced a rifle.
They reported the frightening ordeal to police, and around 4:30 on Saturday afternoon police searched a home on Hannell Street, where they found two firearms and ammunition.
They arrested a 60-year-old man and seized his gun licence.
He'll face Newcastle Local Court on Thursday.
