UPDATE, 6 August: A man wanted by police has been arrested and is accused of illegally possessing knuckle dusters.
ACT Policing said at about 8 pm on Monday (5 August), police conducted a traffic stop on a Honda City on Kingsford Smith Drive in Florey and allegedly found Nicholas Josef Peter hiding in its boot.
He was arrested and faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday (6 August), where he was charged with possessing a prohibited weapon, which are alleged to be knuckle dusters.
Magistrate Jane Campbell said his parole had been cancelled and he had to serve another 20 days imprisonment from a prior sentence.
She refused him bail on his fresh charge and adjourned the matter to 29 August.
