A NSW Police spokesperson said officers served a firearms prohibition order on a 28-year-old man about 7:40 am on Tuesday (24 February).

The man was at a home in Robins Creek Drive, Horsley, which police had a search warrant for.

“During the search warrant, police allegedly seized 100 rounds of ammunition, three glock style gel blasters and cannabis,” the NSW Police spokesperson said.
