NSW counter-terrorism police have discovered a machine gun and other weapons inside the toilet of an abandoned Sydney house.
NSW Counter Terrorism police seized the weapons, including a sniper rifle and pistol, from the unoccupied home in Homer Street, Earlwood on Friday.
The machine gun, which is capable of firing up to 550 bullets a minute, was hidden with ammunition inside green plastic garbage bags inside a toilet.
Police are yet to identify the owner.
"We would like to know more about who owned these firearms and where they came from," Superintendent Darren Bennett said.
"The Schmeisser sub-machine gun in particular is a concern."
The firearms have been sent for ballistic investigation.
