A businessman in Toorak is charged with selling more than 900 prohibited weapons, according to multiple Australian news outlets. The allegations involve the sale of items including knives, swords and sabres, and reports say at least one prohibited weapon was allegedly sold to a child. The man is also described as having benefited from an alleged deception involving landowners.
Across the coverage, the central claim is that the charged conduct relates to the distribution of prohibited weapons at scale. The articles do not agree on further operational details such as dates, locations, or how the weapons were sourced, but they consistently characterize the charges as relating to the selling of prohibited weapons numbering over 900. The reporting also frames the matter as allegations and notes that the person has been charged, rather than convicted.
The outlets provide the same core description of the weapons and the number involved, presenting a single case with the same alleged scope: widespread prohibited weapon sales, including to a minor.
