If you’re missing a hedge trimmer or a portable safe, a couple of drones or a remote controlled car, Hawkesbury police may be able to help after they arrested a 23-year-old Bligh Park man last night.

Police made the arrest after calls from the public just after 11pm Thursday about a man acting suspiciously on a motorbike around McKellar Crescent.

Officers were on the scene swiftly and detained the man who they found had a replica pistol, ammunition, a white powder substance believed to be the drug Ketamine and a number of property items suspected to be stolen or unlawfully obtained.
