NSW men charged over weapons, drugs haul

Two men have allegedly been busted with the drug ice, a hunting knife, a loaded gun, and knuckle dusters during a traffic stop in regional NSW.

The 22-year-old driver and his passenger, 21, were caught with the illicit bounty - which also included cannabis and ammunition - near Bathurst on Thursday morning, police say.

The men, both from Cowra, were refused bail to front Bathurst Local Court on Friday.
