A teddy bear is not the most obvious hiding place for two illegal weapons but police weren't fooled when they raided a man's apartment yesterday.

Police allegedly discovered a pair of illegal handguns stored inside the giant soft toy after searching the building in Turella, Sydney.

Two Glock pistols were found alongside a 32-round magazine and ammunition, as well as cash and paperwork.

A sniffer dog was used to help locate the illegal weapons.

A 23-year-old man was arrested at the location and taken to Sutherland Police Station, according to officers' reports.

He has been charged with two counts of unauthorised possession of a pistol, possession of unregistered firearms, not keeping firearms safe.

He also faces charges of unauthorised possession of a prohibited weapon, unauthorised possession of ammunition, and reckless dealing with proceeds of crime.

The man has been refused bail to appear at Sutherland Local Court today.
