Police say they uncovered a cache of weapons at the home of the man allegedly responsible for yesterday's hold-up at Morisset.
The 49-year-old from Yarawonga Park is accused of trying to rob a pharmacy on Dora Street with a replica pistol before later claiming he had a bomb, forcing the area to be evacuated.
When officers arrived they were confronted by the man who allegedly threatened them forcing them to deploy a Taser to subdue him.
Investigators later searched his home where it's alleged they found guns, ammunition, knives, knuckle-dusters and books on how to make guns.
The man's been refused bail and is due to face Newcastle Local Court today.
