A man and woman face several charges including firearms offences following a traffic stop in the northern suburbs today.
Police will allege just before 1.30pm today (Wednesday 31 July), a Licensing Enforcement Branch patrol conducted a traffic stop on Salisbury Highway, Mawson Lakes. Enquiries revealed the driver was suspended from driving.
A further search of the vehicle led to the patrol locating two handguns (one loaded), a home-made firearm, two silencers and 1.3kg of suspected methamphetamine in the vehicle. The female passenger was searched and she was found to be in possession of a large amount of cash.
A 38-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman from Underdale were arrested and charged with numerous offences including serious firearm offences and trafficking in a large commercial quantity of a controlled drug.
Both have been refused bail and will appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court tomorrow.
Anyone with any information about the manufacture, possession and sale of illegal drugs is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at
