Pictured: Adam Cranston’s gun collection uncovered by police

Tax fraudster Adam Cranston bought a lot of things after he ripped millions off the ATO including an impressive collection of guns, it’s been revealed.

Tax fraudster Adam Cranston had a taste for the finer things in life — and that included guns.

Police found an arsenal of them — alongside a samurai sword — when they raided Cranston’s Western Sydney headquarters in May 2017 while investigating his $105 million tax fraud scheme he was running.

Adam Cranston is set to be jailed over a $105 million tax fraud scheme.

The 36-year-old was found guilty by a jury in the NSW Supreme Court in March of his role in the massive scheme that siphoned money using a network of second tier companies and dummy directors in an operation that posed as a legitimate pay-as-you-go tax service company called Plutus Payroll.

He appeared in the NSW Supreme Court this week where his lawyer argued that he was not the chief architect of the scam, which is one of the biggest in Australia’s history.

Cranston, the son of former deputy tax commissioner Michael Cranston, was one of the chief beneficiaries of the operation and dropped millions on luxury properties, sports cars, wine, and other goods.

He was also an enthusiastic shooter and spent big on a collection of guns.

Police found them on May 17, 2017, when they raided one of Cranston’s office outposts that was inside a hangar at Bankstown Airport.

According to a property seizure report filled out by the police, they discovered nine firearms, rifle scopes, boxes of .357 Magnum bullets, and a samurai sword.

They included a 30th anniversary edition of a Beretta M9 pistol, which was inside a decorative case.

Police also found the receipt for the gun, which Cranston purchased from Horsley Park Gun Shop for almost $1600 and had it posted to his father’s home.

The officers also found a collection of rifles, some of which had scopes attached, and were kept in a safe.

They included Browning and Sako rifles.

Investigators also found two double barrel shotguns.

A samurai sword was located leaning against the wall of one of the rooms in the hangar.

According to the documents, Cranston at various times held a gun licence.

One of the documents recovered was a reminder for Cranston to renew his gun licence.

It was not the first time Cranston’s guns attracted police attention.

Almost a year before he was arrested, staff from a neighbouring office in Double Bay called police after they noticed four rifles laying on the floor of Cranston’s office.

Cranston told the officers who arrived that he was a registered gun owner in the process of moving to an office in Bankstown.

No charges were laid and he was allowed to keep the guns.

Cranston is now facing significant jail time over the tax fraud scheme.

In June, lawyer Dev Menon, who was not paid for providing advice on how to run the fraud, was jailed for 14 years, with nine years non-parole.

Cranston’s sentencing will continue on Tuesday.
