A 53-year-old man will appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court at a later date.

A 31-year-old man remains in custody and will face a magistrate tomorrow.

“This is another example of police proactively seeking out those in our community who continue to flout our laws,” Penney said.

“Tasmania Police remains committed to ensuring those who deal in illicit drugs and firearms are brought to justice.”
