Police got more than they bargained for after pulling over a carload of men in Wantirna, allegedly discovering a haul of weapons, drugs and a gun.

Two men have been arrested after divisional van members from Knox spotted the car sitting in the middle of Barmah Drive with five men on board about 1.30am Wednesday.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the car was intercepted by two uniform police members before a search of the vehicle allegedly uncovered a quantity of alleged drugs, two conducted energy devices (also known as tasers), knuckle dusters and a gun.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested at the scene and has been charged with possessing the firearm and handling stolen goods.

He will appear at a children’s court at a later date.

A Box Hill man, 21, was arrested and has been charged with possessing a drug of dependence.

He was bailed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on December 2.

A Blackburn South man, 20, was allegedly found with a taser and knife.

He is expected to be charged on summons at a later date.
