Men charged as early morning raid leads to sinister discovery
February 22: A large haul of modified firearms, crossbows and a quantity of drugs have been seized by Gold Coast police following the early morning raid of a Labrador home at the weekend.
Detectives from the Gold Coast Major and Organised Crime Squad executed a search warrant on the Turpin Rd address about 6.20am Sunday morning.
Queensland Police said it was in relation to investigations into the illegal supply of firearms.
Allegedly found inside the property were two pistol crossbows, a shortened 12-gauge shot gun, a musket style handgun, a replica handgun, two taser cartridges and two MDMA tablets.
Detective Superintendent Brendan Smith said police would continue to target similar offences:
“The selling of illegal firearms can lead to them being used in the commission of other serious or violent crimes which is why we will maintain our focus on those involved and bring them before the courts,” he said.
Two men, aged 53 and 39, were charged with firearm and drug offences.
The younger man is due to face Southport Magistrates Court on March
