A targeted raid carried out by a specialist police taskforce has successfully removed several dangerous and illegal firearms from Tasmanian streets.
The Western Drugs and Firearms Unit, supported by Operation Scelus, found the arsenal of weapons during a search of a Sheffield property on Thursday.
Two 303 rifles, a gel blaster Glock handgun and a firearm barrel were all allegedly located at the address, as well as a stolen red Holden SUV.
A significant amount of ammunition and gunpowder were also found stashed at the property, along with quantities of ice and cannabis.
Two people, a 28-year-old woman and a 32-year-old man, were arrested and questioned over the seized items.
The pair are now facing a raft of charges including property theft, drug trafficking and firearm offences.
Both will appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court on June 24th.
