A high-profile Dunedin man on drugs and weapons charges was allegedly found with 807 rounds of ammunition, a court has heard.
The 67-year-old appeared in the Dunedin District Court yesterday where new charges were added.
He was originally facing allegations of possessing a sawn-off shotgun, a .22 calibre rifle, three Tasers, failing to provide a pin number to his phone and driving while suspended.
Yesterday, the defendant was also accused of possessing cannabis for supply and having an array of ammunition: 187 bullets of assorted calibres, 264 shotgun shells, 21 9mm bullets and 335 .22 bullets.
He was granted name suppression to protect his fair-trial rights and was remanded in custody without plea.
Detective Senior Sergeant Nik Leigh said the raid on the man's home was carried out, alongside Customs officials, on March 4 under the codename "Operation Rubus".
The defendant will come before the court again next month when pleas relating to the charges are expected to be entered.
