The bomb squad has found a number of bomb detonators at a unit on Sydney’s northern beaches overnight, police say.

Residents were evacuated from a unit block, on Fisher Road at Dee Why, after the discovery in one of its units about 7pm.

They were allowed to return to their homes about 10pm after police deemed it safe.

Police found the detonators during a search of the raided unit, which also uncovered cash, a replica firearm, tablets, cannabis and a crystal matter believed to be illicit drugs, police said.

The unit’s 31-year-old male occupant was charged with drug possession, drug supply, firearm offences, handling an explosive precursor without a license and dealing with the proceeds of crime.

He was refused bail and will face Manly Local Court today.
