A man was found with a double-barrel shotgun, drug gear and a baton in his car in Musselburgh last night, police say.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said officers conducted a random stop on a vehicle in Musselburgh Rise about 11pm.
They noticed a baton on the back seat, prompting them to make a search of the vehicle, during which they found a double-barrel shotgun and six shell cartridges, Snr Sgt Bond said.
The man was arrested and would appear in court in relation to possession of an offensive weapon, the baton; unlawful possession of a firearm, the shotgun; and possession of methamphetamine utensils.
