Gore Police have arrested a man allegedly in possession of a firearm in the Gore area.
A patched Mongrel Mob member was reported to be carrying a firearm and Police responded swiftly to take them into custody.
A firearm and ammunition have been recovered following our officers’ efforts to locate and arrest the offender without incident.
“Police are committing to preventing potential harm in our community and will act fast to ensure the community is safe,” says Area Response Manager Acting Senior Sergeant Mike Ungerer.
