Detectives from the Illicit Firearms Squad seized drugs and almost $60,000 cash during a Firearm Prohibition Order (FPO) search in Carrum Downs yesterday.

A 34-year-old Carrum Downs man, who is subject to an active FPO, was intercepted by police and a search of his vehicle and home was conducted.

During the compliance search police located a quantity of cocaine and steroids, as well as a significant quantity of cash.

The man was charged with drug and possess proceeds of crime offences.

He has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 24 April.

Since they were introduced in May 2018, Victoria Police has issued over 1700 FPOs across the state.

Once issued, an FPO remains in effect for 10 years for adults and five years for children, which is those between 14 and 17 years of age.

During that time, the individual is prohibited from acquiring, possessing, carrying or using any firearm or firearm related item such as ammunition.

They are also unable to enter a range of premises including firearms dealers, shooting ranges or firearms clubs.

The charges relating to FPOs are significant – 10 years imprisonment for acquiring, possessing, carrying or using a firearm or firearm related item.

Anyone with information about illicit firearm or drug activity is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
