Drugs and ammo found in car on NSW highway

A man disqualified from driving until 2035 has allegedly been caught with drugs and ammunition in a car on the NSW Central Coast.

Highway patrol officers stopped a car with four occupants on the Pacific Highway at Lisarow about 3pm on Saturday afternoon and stopped the 28-year-old male driver who they say tried to walk away from the vehicle.

Inquiries later revealed he had been disqualified from driving until June 2035.

During a search of the vehicle, police allegedly found a number of items including a knife, amounts of cannabis and a substance believed to be amphetamines, and more than 90 rounds of ammunition.

They also recovered numerous items believed to have been stolen.

The driver and a 25-year-old male passenger were arrested at the scene and taken to Gosford Police Station.

The 28-year-old man was charged with driving while disqualified, possessing a knife in a public place and goods in custody.

He was refused bail to appear before Gosford Local Court on Tuesday.

A 25-year-old man was charged with possessing a prohibited drug, possessing ammunition without a licence, and four counts of goods in custody.

He was granted conditional bail to appear before Gosford Local Court on May 27.

The other occupants were released pending further inquiries.
