Strike Force Raptor has struck again in the Hunter, with an associate of the Banditos outlaw motorcycle gang, and his son, charged with firearm offences.
Strike force officers conducted a targeted vehicle stop on a 48 year old man yesterday in Telarah, where shortly after a house was also searched.
A loaded firearm and a magazine, as well as 12-gauge shotgun shells were found at the Brooks Street address - one of the firearms is believed to be a stolen gun from a break-in in 2011.
The 48 year old was arrested and taken to Maitland Police Station and charged with multiple firearm offences.
He was refused bail and will appear at Maitland Local Court later this month.
A 24 year old man was also arrested in Barnsley, where police conducted another search of a home and found multiple firearms and drugs.
The man was charged with multiple firearm and drug offences and refused bail to appear in Toronto Local Court later today.
