A man has been arrested after he was found in possession of a homemade taser in Renmark

When police pulled over a cyclist after midnight with no lights they probably weren’t expecting to uncover this dubious homemade contraption.

A 34-year-old man has been arrested for being in possession of a homemade taser in the Riverland.

On Tuesday, at about 12.45am, police stopped a man on Ogilvy St who was riding a bike without any lights.
