A 25-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with weapons offences after police stopped him in Mandurah on Thursday morning.
The Halls Head man, along with a 19-year-old male passenger, was driving a red Ford Falcon on Gordon Road, Greenfields just after 3am when he was pulled over for a random breath test.
It is alleged police smelled cannabis, saw a knife on the passenger side floor and searched the car.
The search allegedly uncovered two replica firearms, two knives and a smoking implement with another knife reportedly found in the driver’s front pocket.
Inside the car were various tools and a crowbar.
The man was found to be driving on a suspended licence.
Both he and his passenger were arrested.
The 19-year-old passenger was later released without charge.
The 25-year-old was charged with no authority to drive and possession of a controlled weapon and his vehicle has been impounded for 28 days.
He has been summonsed to appear in Mandurah Magistrates Court.
