THREE guns were found in a car in Frankston South earlier this month, police say. Police allege they spotted a Volkswagen Golf with stolen plates on Frankston-Flinders Road just before 2am on 8 March. They arrested the 34-year-old man in the car and searched the vehicle.
Three firearms were allegedly found by police in a footwell – a homemade pistol, a 3D-printed pistol, and a gel blaster converted into a gun. They allege they found ammunition as well.
A man from Baxter has since been charged with prohibited person possess firearm, possess ammunition, handle stolen goods, drive whilst disqualified, drive unregistered motor vehicle, and possess dangerous article. He was scheduled to face Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 8 March.
A passenger in the car, a 27-year-old woman, was released pending further enquiries.
