Raptor Squad police have charged a man with a dozen firearm and drug offences following a raid on a Rutherford home.

Following investigations into the unlawful possession of firearms, they executed a search warrant at the Aberglasslyn Road property last Wednesday (17 June 2026) and allegedly seized three firearms, more than 200 rounds of ammunition, 29 grams of cannabis and four grams of methylamphetamine.

A 31-year-old man was arrested at a home on Garrat Circuit, Thornton yesterday (Wednesday 24 June 2026).

He faced the bail court where he was remanded in custody to appear in Newcastle Local Court on August 26.
