A 38-year-old Springfield Lakes woman has been charged with multiple drug and weapons offences after police allegedly seized a 3D-printed firearm, ammunition and drugs during a search in Augustine Heights. Officers from the Ipswich Tactical Crime Squad and Ipswich Criminal Investigation Branch searched a Technology Drive property on September 15. Police allege the privately manufactured firearm was designed to resemble a popular children’s toy. The woman faces four counts of possessing dangerous drugs, two counts of possessing Schedule 4 medicine and single charges including possessing a relevant substance, possessing a Category D/H/R weapon, possessing explosives without authority, possessing drug utensils and failing to dispose of a needle or syringe. She is scheduled to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on October 7. Senior Sergeant Michelle Blaney said privately manufactured firearms posed a significant community safety risk because they could be produced outside traditional supply chains and concealed in non-traditional forms. Police urged anyone with information about firearm manufacture or illicit drugs to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Post navigation QPS Honors Fallen Officers Teen Dies After Isaac Crash
