A 45-year-old man is set to face Leeton Local Court later this month after police executed a search warrant at an Argyle Street property in the early hours of Wednesday morning, uncovering a significant collection of weapons, drugs, ammunition and suspected drug supply materials.

Officers from the Murrumbidgee Police District arrived at the property at around 7:40 am on Wednesday 25 February and, following a search, allegedly located prohibited weapons, fireworks, a quantity of illegal drugs, ammunition, and items police believe are consistent with the supply of drugs.

The 45-year-old man was arrested at the property and taken to Leeton Police Station, where he was charged with multiple offences spanning weapons, drug and ammunition categories.

He was initially refused bail and appeared before Bail Court Division 5, where he was subsequently granted conditional bail. He is due to appear at Leeton Local Court on 10 March 2026.

Police have not publicly named the man at this stage of proceedings. The investigation is being handled by the Murrumbidgee Police District, which covers the Leeton, Griffith, Narrandera and surrounding areas of the Riverina.

The execution of a search warrant at a residential address typically follows an investigative period in which police gather sufficient evidence to satisfy a magistrate or authorised justice that there are reasonable grounds for the search.

The discovery of items consistent with drug supply — such as scales, bags or deal quantities — alongside drugs and weapons is frequently a factor in bail decisions.
