New South Wales police have conducted two separate operations resulting in the seizure of firearms and narcotics in Attunga and Queanbeyan.

In Attunga, officers from the Oxley Police District executed a search warrant on a Ridge Street property. Police allege they seized a rifle, a rifle scope, a Glock pistol, magazines, a slingshot, and nunchucks, alongside methamphetamine, seven cannabis plants, and cannabis seeds. A 54-year-old man was arrested and charged with several firearm offences, including possession of an unauthorised pistol, as well as drug possession and cultivation. He remains in custody pending a court appearance.

In Queanbeyan, an investigation into an alleged domestic violence incident led officers to a home on Sassafras Crescent. During the search, police allege they located a sawn-off single-barrel shotgun and 18 bags of cocaine. A 41-year-old man was arrested and charged with stalking, intimidation, and possession of unauthorised firearms. A 28-year-old man was also arrested and charged with the supply of a prohibited drug.
