A Central Coast man will appear in court today after being found in possession of a stun-gun disguised as a smart-phone.

Officers spoke to the men, before conducting a search of the car. Inside the boot of the vehicle, police located what initially appeared to be a smart-phone. Upon further inspection, officers determined that the phone was in fact a stun-gun, and the weapon was seized.

One of the men within the car, a 50-year-old from Tacoma, was arrested and taken to Toronto Police Station where he was charged with possess prohibited weapon. He has been refused bail to appear before Newcastle Local Court today (Sunday 26 July 2015).

The other man in the car was not arrested.
