Police discover car containing drugs, firearms during routine intercept in Prahran

Police got more than they bargained for after stopping to check a doubled-parked car in Prahran in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Officers were patrolling Irving Avenue when they came across a Hyundai Getz about 1.25am.

The driver, who allegedly had drugs, firearms and ammunition in his car, then tried to avoid police from stopping him by waving officers around.

Despite his attempts, police stopped to inspect his car, finding a cash of ice, heroin, cocaine and other drugs as well as firearms and ammunition.

The man, 33, has been charged with being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, possessing multiple drugs of dependence and trafficking drugs of dependence.

He will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Sunday.
