Gun and drugs found in allegedly stolen car

Police in Geelong have arrested a man in an allegedly stolen car before locating a loaded firearm and drugs last week.

Officers were called to the intersection of Brownhill and Garden streets for a welfare check after a man was seen sleeping in a parked car about 7.30am on Friday, January 28.

Upon arrival officers discovered the Toyota station wagon was allegedly stolen from a Geelong address on Thursday.

Police woke the 36-year-old man and arrested him before locating a loaded handgun, methylamphetamine and approximately $2000 cash, alleged to be the proceeds of crime.

The man, of no fixed address, was assisting detectives with their enquiries.

The investigation remains ongoing.
