Police officers went to the home about 11am on Thursday, October 19 to serve a firearms prohibition order on a 40-year-old man.
During a search of the property, police discovered steel boxes that had been buried and contained a rifle, a 45-calibre pistol, a crossbow, multiple knives, ammunition, firearm parts, and knuckle dusters.
