A WOMAN charged with 11 drug and firearm offences after police raided a home at Metford on Thursday has been refused bail in Newcastle Local Court.
Casey Edwards, 35, did not appear in court on Friday or enter any pleas to charges of acquiring a firearm subject to a prohibition order, two counts of possession of an unauthorised prohibited firearm, two counts of possession of a prohibited drug and possession of more than three unregistered firearms without a license or permit.
Ms Edwards did not apply for bail and the matter was adjourned to Maitland Local Court on May 27.
Police said officers attached to Port Stephens-Hunter Police Target Action Group, with the assistance of Operation Utah, executed a firearms and weapons prohibition order at a home on Wattle Close, Metford about 6am on Thursday.
During the search, police allegedly located and seized two long arm rifles, two 'gel blaster' style firearms, cannabis, amphetamines and stolen number plates.
