An associate of the Finks outlaw motorcycle gang has been arrested more than two years after officers discovered weapons and ammunition at a Maryland home.

A pistol, two sling shots, ammunition, and firearm parts including a trigger mechanism, suppressor, rifle bolt and shortened barrel were found at the home on Maryland Street during a search in May 2017.

All of the items were forensically examined by specialist police.

Following extensive inquiries, detectives arrested a man outside Maitland Local Court on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old has been charged with possessing an unauthorised firearm, possessing an unauthorised prohibited firearm and two counts of possessing or using a prohibited weapon without a permit.

He was refused bail to face court on Wednesday.
