When police from the Richmond Target Action group stopped a car at 11:20pm on Saturday (November 10) on Brewster Street, Lismore, the driver thought he had them licked.
The 19-year-old Casino man told police that he was driving to McDonalds to get an ice cream.
But, police say, they ‘could not help but notice that he was already holding a McDonalds ice cream in his hand’.
On searching the teen they allegedly found two rounds of high calibre ammunition in his bumbag.
The man, who does not possess a firearms licence, will face court next month.
A Richmond PD spokesperson said, ‘The laws on firearms and ammunition in NSW are clear; you cannot possess a firearm or ammunition unless you are licensed. It is however OK to possess an ice cream.’
