Officers arrested a 27-year-old male at the scene, who was taken into custody and interviewed regarding the matter.
The man has since been charged with 15 counts of possessing an imitation firearm, two counts of possessing a prohibited weapon, and the unauthorised possession of Victoria Police equipment.
He is now on bail and scheduled to appear before the Bendigo Magistrates Court on October 2nd.
