Brett Anthony Lawson of Gilmore, ACT, appeared in Queanbeyan Local Court on Monday, April 27, where he admitted his guilt on nine charges.
These included possessing a loaded firearm in a public place, ammunition without a licence, a prohibited drug and housebreaking implements, as well as not keeping a firearm safely, two counts of receiving stolen property and having goods in his custody suspected of being stolen.
On Monday, Magistrate Roger Clisdell accepted the 28-year-old's guilty pleas, deferred the matter for sentencing to June 22 at Queanbeyan and varied his conditional bail.
Lawson's bail has a curfew that restricts him to a Gilmore address between 9pm and 5am, to post a bond of $3000 and not to go within 2km of a road in Sutton, NSW.
