Teen boy caught hooning at Bunnings car park with pistol in his pants

A 17-year-old boy was charged with multiple offenses after police in New South Wales, Australia, reportedly observed him performing burnouts in a ute while carrying a pistol in his pants at a Bunnings car park. The teenager was found to be unlicensed and driving an unregistered vehicle, with additional illegal items including another Glock pistol, knives, a balaclava, and cannabis discovered during the search. He was taken into custody and faces 10 charges related to weapons, drugs, and driving violations. A local witness commented on the frequency of such incidents in the area, calling this occurrence 'too much' due to its impact on community safety.
