Fing, 35, had left his girlfriend’s Lambton home after detectives arrived to conduct a Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) last week, according to police.

The alleged discovery of a shotgun under a bed, a crossbow and a replica M16 machine gun was enough for police to be granted an arrest warrant.

A second search at the Belmont North home of Fing’s parents also allegedly uncovered a shotgun hidden in a wall cavity.

There is no suggestion Fing’s father, Trevor, or his mother are involved in the possession of the shotgun.
