Wagga police executed a search warrant at a house on Chifley Crescent shortly before 10.30am and found a loaded handgun, shoulder holster, ammunition and handcuffs inside.

All were seized for forensic examination.

A number of people were spoken to at the house and inquiries are continuing.

“The Wagga Local Area Command is keen to stay on the front foot against illegal firearms and will do what’s necessary to remove them from the community," duty officer Inspector Stephen Radford said.
