Police has charged a Cranbourne man with possessing a drug of dependence and driving while disqualified after a routine traffic intercept has led to a firearm and drugs being located on Saturday 26 August.
Police were out on patrol when they pulled over a Ford Falcon in Francis Avenue in Drouin at about 12.50am.
They quickly discovered the driver, a 45-year-old Cranbourne man, was driving while disqualified.
It was also determined that the vehicle was displaying incorrect registration plates.
A search of the driver and his 25-year-old female passenger from Traralgon soon turned up a small amount of methylamphetamines and GHB.
Police then turned their sights on the vehicle where they discovered a home-made firearm.
Police charged the Traralgon woman with possessing a drug of dependence, possessing a firearm, possessing ammunition and committing an indictable offence while on bail.
Both were remanded to appear in Latrobe Valley Magistrates’ Court on Monday 28 August.
The man’s vehicle would also be impounded for 30 days.
