Today my house was raided by police who had a search warrant, They were searching for fire arms and ammunition and stolen watches. There search was unsuccessful. Although they did seize items such as 3 mobile phones, my daughter's laptop, tablets with no prescription, detonators and a toilet suite. I'm concerned about what the charges will be for the detonators. I honestly do not know where or how the detonators became in my possession. I'm being charged for stolen goods in custody. Please help me
NSW Police Raid for Possession of Stolen Goods - What Now?
- Thread starter rikki stranlund
- Start date
"Goods in Custody" is a charge that arises
when you have things in your possession
and you cannot explain where they came from
and how you came to have them.
In other words - you can face this charge if
you cannot satisfy the police the goods are "yours",
and that you obtained them lawfully
(such as by buying them, or receiving them as a gift).
In order to successfully defend the charge,
you will need to show the court where you got the goods from,
and how you came to have them lawfully.

Hi rikki,
I agree with @Tim W's comments - Why are you unclear about how you came into possession of the detonators?
Have you engaged a lawyer or contacted Legal Aid NSW for further assistance?

Hi guys firstly thanku for ur answers. I value u takin the time to do so. To answer ur question on how the detonators came into my possession- I have just come out of a 6 year relationship with my ex partner. To my knowledge they were his property . I honestly didnt know that they were still in my residence ... I didnt even know wat they were.. although we have parted I was to believe regardless who owned them , as they were in my house obviously they r my responsibility as they were in my house . I dont have any criminal history or record for that matter..
