DRUGS and guns were seized by Ballarat police in a raid on a Sebastopol property at the weekend.

Police say a shotgun, air rifle and a quantity of drugs were seized when a search warrant was executed at the address yesterday.

A 36 year old Sebastopol man was charged with a range of offences, including possessing a drug of dependence, making threats to kill and firearm offences.

Detectives say the arrest occurred after enquiries were made following an earlier drug-related arrest at the weekend.

Police arrested a 21 year old Buninyong man on Saturday night, where he was charged with use and possess a drug of dependence.

He was also charged with trafficking a drug of dependence, a charge which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment for non-commercial quantities and life in jail for commercial quantities.

Both men have been bailed to appear at the Ballarat Magistrates Court at a later date.
