Detectives seize stolen car, firearms and ammo at Kilburn, three arrested and charged

Two men and a woman will face court after the discovery of a stolen car at a pub led police to allegedly find guns and ammo at a nearby home.

Two men and a woman have been arrested after a stolen car led Organised Crime detectives to seize guns and ammunition during a raid in the northern suburbs on Sunday night.

Police said they found a stolen Holden Commodore station wagon in the carpark of a licensed premises at Kilburn about 7.30pm.

The car was seized for forensic examination.

Officers identified the alleged occupants of the stolen car nearby, arresting a 31-year-old Manningham man and a 25-year-old Paralowie woman. They were charged with illegal use of a motor vehicle.

Detectives from Western District Police and Serious and Organised Crime Branch subsequently searched addresses linked to the people arrested.

Three firearms, firearm parts and ammunition were found at a Kilburn property.

Police suspect some of the firearms are suspected to have been stolen, and inquiries into the incident continue.

A Kilburn man, 39, was also arrested and charged with serious firearm offences.

The Manningham man and Kilburn man will appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court later on Monday, while the woman was bailed to appear in December.

It comes after The Advertiser reported on what’s argubly Adelaide’s scariest street, Nelson St in Kilburn.

The Housing Trust-dominated road has been known as one of the toughest spots in Adelaide for decades. But it is only getting worse due to a string of violent incidents.

Police are urging anyone with information about illegal or stolen firearms to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.
