The men managed to escape on a motorcycle after eluding a police patrol for several minutes.
A press release from Eve Leary said that at about 19:30 hours yesterday two police ranks were in a motor vehicle travelling along Watooka Road, Mackenzie, Linden, when they observed two men on a motorcycle, one of whom was carrying a haversack.
The ranks became suspicious and decided to follow the two men who, upon realising that the ranks were behind them, threw away the haversack and escaped on the motorcycle. The bag was retrieved and searched and an AK-47 rifle along with a magazine and twenty-three 7.62 x 39 rounds were found.
Investigations are in progress.
