Police have charged two Dunoon men with drug, firearm and theft offences after searching two properties near Lismore last Thursday.

A large amount of prescription medication was also seized and has been identified as property stolen from a break-and-enter offence committed in a pharmacy at Bangalow earlier this month.

Both men were refused bail when they appeared in Lismore Local Court on Friday.

Police raided a property at Rayward Road, Dunoon, last Thursday morning where they allegedly discovered two outdoor cannabis crops.

They found 71 plants, an indoor hydroponic crop of 29 plants, ammunition, firearms, dried cannabis, hashish and an unknown white powder.

A 29-year-old man was charged with multiple drug, firearms and theft offences, while a 37-year-old man was charged with drug offences and also under an outstanding arrest warrant.
