A 40-year-old man was granted $10,000 bail after police allegedly found a banner assault rifle and more than 100 rounds of ammunition in his house on Carmichael Road last week. 

Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville charged Caesare Higgs with possession of a prohibited weapon and two counts of possession of ammunition with intent to supply.

Ryzard Humes represented the defendant.

Higgs was allegedly found with a black and tan assault rifle along with 156 rounds of 7.62 ammunition and 37 rounds of .223 ammunition in his house on the evening of February 7.

After pleading not guilty, Higgs was told that under his bail, he must sign in at the Carmichael Police Station every Sunday by 7pm. He will also be fitted with a monitoring device.

His trial begins on July 3.
