A 23-year-old man from New South Wales’ Central Coast has been charged after Australian Border Force (ABF) officers detected him importing handgun parts through the international mail system.

The discovery was made last month, leading to his residence being raided by the ABF Detector Dog Unit and NSW Police officers.
