Improvised shotgun, throwing spears among weapons found at Kambah house

A man is set to face court for allegedly possessing an improvised slam-fire shotgun, gel blaster assault rifle, replica pistol, improvised knives and throwing spears at his Kambah residence.

ACT Policing in a statement said they executed a search warrant at the home on Friday when they also found metal pipes, bags of a crystalline substance and drug paraphernalia.

The search came after a Subaru Forester failed to stop for police in Belconnen before it was later found in McKellar.

The man, 31, was arrested at the home and charged with unauthorised possession of firearms, unauthorised manufacture of firearms and breach of good behaviour order.
