Police searched a rural property in Holbrook on May 4 last year and charged Stephen Gavin Finlay and Andrew David Landale.

Police had been investigating the alleged sale of livestock by individuals who were not the rightful owners.

Following the raid, a NSW Police spokesman said 14 guns had been seized along with ammunition and documents.

Police alleged livestock belonging to neighbours had been found at the Holbrook property.

Cattle theft and dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception charges against Landale were withdrawn in Albury Local Court last week.
