Two arrested in Coonamble firearm check

Two men were in court today after being arrested in Coonamble yesterday during a police firearm check.

 

Officers came to a house in Castlereagh Street at about 7am on 27 May to carry out a firearm prohibition compliance check.



"While lawfully on the premises, police arrested the occupants, a 24-year-old man and a 37-year-old man," a police spokesperson said.

 

"They were both taken to Coonamble Police Station."

 

The younger man was charged with offences including aggravated theft from a dwelling, domestic violence intimidation, possessing a knife in a public place and possessing a prohibited drug.

 

The older man had outstanding warrants and was charged with property offences.

 

Both were refused bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court today.
