Last month, officers attached to Central West Police District and the Australian Border Force (ABF) commenced an investigation into the importation of firearm parts across NSW, after ABF officers detected a consignment that had arrived from the United States of America on Sunday January 2.
Following extensive inquiries, a joint-agency operation was conducted, with police searching two homes at Forbes from 6am Thursday.
During the searches, police seized cannabis, cocaine, a flick knife and an electronic stun device.
All items will undergo further examination.
The 49-year-old man was arrested and taken to Forbes Police Station, where he was charged with import prohibited imports, three counts of possess prohibited drug, two counts of possess or use a prohibited weapon without permit.
The man was granted strict conditional bail to appear at Forbes Local Court on Wednesday 23 March 2022.
