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.

Man stabbed after violent Maddington brawl
as posted on TheWest
One man was stabbed and another two suffered head injuries after a violent brawl in Maddington last night.
It is understood the altercation first began when a car parked at an Albany Highway property was smashed earlier in the night.
Police then believe the owners of that house travelled to a Hilton Street home, prompting a retaliation attack on another car.
The residents of the Hilton Street house ran outside before a brawl erupted in the street.
One man, believed to be in his 20s, was stabbed in the abdomen and another two suffered head injuries in the attack.
Cannington detectives, teams from the major incident group and forensic officers spent most of the night at the scene.
Investigators found a knife under one of the damaged cars after they had blocked off Hilton Street to all traffic.
It is understood other weapons, including sticks, were used in the scuffle.
The stabbed man went into surgery last night and was in a stable condition this morning.

Toddler left in '70 degree heat': kidsafe
as posted on ABCnews
Kidsafe says a two-year-old girl who died after being left inside a locked car in the Perth suburb of Maddington would have been exposed to temperatures of up to 70 degrees.
The temperature in Perth reached just over 34 degrees yesterday, and Kidsafe Chief Executive Sue Wicks says the temperature in the car would have been much higher.
"Yesterday was probably the first really hot day we've had in quite some time ," she said.
"What happens, when the temperature outside increases, [and] the car is closed up, the temperature inside increases as well. It can be anything up to 30 or 40 degrees [higher] inside the car than outside."
Police says it appears a sibling found the body of the two-year-old girl.
They say it appears the parents returned to their Maddington home yesterday afternoon and left the child in the car before taking another vehicle to pick up their older children in Fremantle.
Police say they realised the child was still in the car when they could not find her in the house.
Inspector Trevor Davis says their attempts to resuscitate the girl failed and she had died by the time paramedics arrived.
