Police have revealed the two-day operation that led to the arrest of a 21-year-old man found with a 20cm rifle bolt in his anus. A man has been arrested at an Oxenham St house and, during a strip search, police noticed something “poking out”. The event was no laughing matter for the Warwick man who now faces 10 charges, one of which is unlawful possession of a firearm. The man came on to the radar of Warwick police on Thursday, August 25, after his car was allegedly seen driving on Grafton, Albion and Fitzroy sts. Police allege the man did not have a licence at the time of the car trips. Later that day, and before he was intercepted, police officers say he drove to Oak Tree Retirement Village, Wood St, and parked in the space allocated to wheelie bins. The man allegedly got out of the car and went into a unit, in what police believe was an attempt to avoid them. The officer said he “dropped some clothing” and was confronted by a staff member, whom he allegedly told he was “looking for his phone”. Police said the man left on foot and a different person then collected his car. The 21-year-old man is due to appear in Warwick Magistrates Court on September 21.
