Man who stashed murder-linked guns bailed

A man accused of storing weapons linked to the freeway murder of a Melbourne dad has been bailed so he can have surgery on his varicose veins.

Andrew Heil, 30, won his bid for bail at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday after being charged with several gun offences following raids linked to the murder of Paul Virgona.

Mr Virgona was gunned down while driving to work on the EastLink Freeway at Donvale on November 9.

Heil is facing various charges including possessing more than three unregistered firearms in Port Melbourne and being a non-prohibited person with unregistered longarms, handguns and cartridge ammunition.

Magistrate Fiona Hayes granted bail, with no objection from the prosecution, which will now allow Heil to have surgery on his varicose veins.

"My client has an operation that is booked, he has profound varicose veins," Heil's defence lawyer Damian Sheales told the court.

Prosecutor Diana Karamicov said any unacceptable risks could be managed with bail conditions.

Ms Hayes granted bail on the basis that the prosecution did not oppose it, Heil has future medical treatment, works, has no prior convictions and appears to have played a "lesser role" in the alleged offending.

Heil must not associate directly or indirectly with any members of the Mongols Motorcycle Club or Raiders Motorcycle Club as part of his bail conditions.

Heil, who has an SS bolt tattoo on his face, also must not attend an address on Bertie Street in Port Melbourne. The Mongols clubhouse is reportedly on that street.

He can only have one mobile phone and SIM card to his name, must live in Carrum Downs, and report to police three times a week.

He is due back in court on April 21.
