Teenager arrested after AK-47 found at home in Melbourne’s south-east

An 18-year-old has been arrested after detectives executed a search warrant on a home in Melbourne’s south-east this afternoon.

Investigators executed a search warrant at the Oakleigh East home about 1.15pm and found a firearm believed to be an AK-47 (similar to the one above, seized in raids last week) and an imitation firearm.

The weapons were seized along with a quantity of what is believed to be cannabis.

An 18-year-old Oakleigh East man was arrested at the scene.

He is currently assisting investigators with their enquiries.
