Two guns, firearm parts and a stash of mobile phones have been found after a Tolland home was raided yesterday as part of several break and enter investigations.
Wagga Police Inspector Adrian Telfer said they went to the Brookes Circle house to search for two stolen phones when they found a replica Glock pistol, a gel blaster rifle, firearm parts and about 30 phones.
“Over a number of hours, police recovered what they believe is an amount of stolen property from a number of stealings and/or break and enters in Wagga,” Inspector Telfer said.
He said one of the investigations was in relation to a break and enter at a business on Cheshire Street, Wagga, in November last year.
“We’ve been investigating that break and enter for a few months now and that’s why we went to this address yesterday,” he said.
In relation to the replica gun, Inspector Telfer said: “I do stress it was a replica but that is a criminal offence in itself, but we have some testing to do to ensure it fits the bill of a replica firearm.”
He urged anyone who may be missing a phone to come forward.
“We’re sifting through all that property today to try to identify the owners of those telephones,” he said.
No one has been arrested at this stage, but Inspector Telfer said police knew the residents at the Tolland house and would be potentially speaking with them.
