Bomb squad called to Wagga home as man arrested for allegedly building IEDs

Bomb squad police have swarmed a quiet street in Wagga after a disturbing swath of weaponry and improvised explosives was found in a home.

Police raided the NSW Riverina home on Thursday, uncovering a huge cache of improvised explosive devices, homemade firearms and ammunition.

Following the discovery of the homemade devices, the police bomb disposal unit was called in to assess the devices, which were declared safe.

A 30-year-old man was arrested and charged with two counts of manufacturing a military-style weapon, four counts of possessing a prohibited drug, eight counts of possessing ammo without a licence, one count of possessing an unregistered firearm and one count of breaching an AVO.

The man was refused bail and will appear before Wagga Wagga Local Court on October 21.
