A man will face court this week following a search at a Murchison property where guns and explosives were located.

Last week, Murchison Police, with the support of Nelson CIB and the Armed Offenders Squad, were at the rural address investigating reports of illegal firearms.

Enquiries were carried out, which resulted in the search of the property and the recovery of a shotgun, a .22 rifle, a revolver, ammunition and drugs.

Of note, the firearms were all loaded and not secured in a safe.
