Edward Nassr allegedly seized the weapon and 32 rounds of ammunition from a bag he was carrying

Thursday 12 June 2008

Edward Nassr, 30, was refused bail on Wednesday when he appeared in Sydney's Central Local Court on weapons charges.
Police arrested Nassr about 1am (AEST) on Monday after noticing him loitering in a Surry Hills laneway near the nightclub.They allegedly seized the weapon and 32 rounds of ammunition from a bag he was carrying.
Surry Hills Local Area Commander Superintendent Donna Adney said the gun appeared to be home-made because it did not have any manufacturer's markings."Certainly ... this would fit into a far more dangerous category of firearms," Supt Adney told reporters.
"I would describe the machine pistol as something that has similar dimensions to a pistol that can be fired with one hand and it has an automatic capacity.
"It means if you hold your finger on the trigger the bullets keep firing."Supt Adney would not divulge any further details of the arrest.Nassr is charged with being armed with intent to commit an indictable offence, possessing a firearm and other firearm-related offences.He did not apply for bail on Wednesday, and it was formally refused by Magistrate Allen Moore.He was remanded in custody to appear in the same court on July 23.Nassr was arrested by officers from Operation Rolling Thunder, a three-day blitz targeting alcohol-related crime and illegal drugs over the Queen's Birthday long weekend.Seventy people were arrested in the operation, and 48 have been charged with possession or supply of illegal drugs.
