as posted on TheWest

A 38-year-old bikie will face court next week after a stash of weapons was allegedly found in his car during a traffic stop.

Gosnells police and the Gang Crime Squad stopped and searched a car with three men on board on Dellar Road in Maddington around 5pm yesterday afternoon.

A search of the Ford Falcon Sedan allegedly revealed a haul of weapons including a set of knuckle dusters, a knife, and a pistol which had been hidden in stubby holders on the floor of the car.

A house in High Wycombe was then searched and police allegedly found a smoking implement and an amount of cannabis.

The bikie will appear in Armadale Magistrates Court on January 2 to face several charges including aggravated possession of an unlicensed firearm, unlawful possession of unlicensed ammunition and possession of a prohibited weapon.

A 29-year-old Cannington man will also be summonsed for possession of a controlled weapon.
