Riverina Police District's rural crime team led the delivery of the firearms prohibition order on an occupant of a property at Wantiool, around 13 kilometres east of Junee, on Tuesday.
The property was searched after the order was served, leading officers to allegedly discover a raft of illicit goods.

"The search yielded some unexpected results with quantity of steroids, two stolen number plates, a confirmed stolen KTM RC360 motorcycle and approximately 200 rounds of ammunition recovered," police said.
A firearms prohibition order, made against a person by the NSW Police Commissioner, prohibits that person from acquiring, possessing or using a firearm, a firearm part or ammunition.
"Operations such as this demonstrates our teams drive to get on the front foot to prevent and disrupt the offending ways of suspects known to us rather than just responding to reports of crime," Detective Sergeant Damian Nott, southern zone rural crime prevention team co-ordinator, said.
Police are continuing inquiries.
