A man will face court today after allegedly being found in possession of unauthorised firearms in the Hunter Region yesterday.

About 2.30pm (Sunday 26 July 2015), police were called to a home on Third Street, Weston, following reports of an armed man in the yard.

Police from Central Hunter Local Area Command attended and attempted to speak with the man, who allegedly refused to cooperate.

About 3.20pm, the 32-year-old Weston man exited the garage and was arrested without incident.

No one was injured during the operation.

Following a search of the property, police located and seized two air rifles and various types of ammunition.

The man was taken to Maitland Police Station and charged with unauthorised possession of firearms, not keep firearms safe, and possess ammunition without holding a licence or permit.

He has been refused bail and is due to appear at Maitland Local Court today (Monday 27 July 2015).
