Man in one of Australia’s most upmarket suburbs is charged with 30 offences after allegedly hoarding 350 firearms
A man from Sydney's North Shore has been charged with almost 30 firearm offences after police seized over 350 weapons from his home.
In May, North Shore Police attended the Mosman property on Rangers Avenue, to conduct a safe storage inspection of firearms which were kept at the premises.
Police launched an investigation after concerns were raised over a number of alleged breaches related to the Firearms Act (1996).

Later that month officers returned to the 85-year-old's property to seize over 350 firearms and issue the man with a warning.
On Thursday police issued the Mosman man with a Court Attendance Notice following further inquiries.
The man was charged with almost 30 offences in relation to possession of an unregistered firearm, failure to keep firearm safely and failing to produce registered firearm.
He is expected to front Manly Local Court on Thursday November 16.
