He’s now pleaded guilty to a number of firearm offences and was fined £1500, had his guns removed and his firearm licence revoked. 
Police made the incredible find after pulling a hydraulic arm inside the living room.
Astonished officers then watched the couch rise to reveal a set of stairs leading to a hidden room underneath. 

There they found several handguns, shotguns and high-powered rifles on a rack as well as a large stash of ammunition, silencers and body armour.
Among the haul of dangerous weapons was a 50 calibre rifle with ammunition that’s able to blow up armoured vehicles and buildings.
The bunker also had a shooting range with a target and pulley system with a workbench also installed to allow Letizia to work on his weapons.
Western Australia’s Police Minister Paul Papalia said: “A bunker, an underground shooting range, an arsenal of high-powered firearms right in suburban Perth. It’s just incredible

“Why he needed that many high-powered rifles in a secret underground shooting range is beyond me.”
The firearms were taken by officers and sent to be destroyed.
Western Australia Police said Letizia was sentenced on 9 September 2022 in the Midland Magistrates Court in relation to the five criminal charges.
‘He received a total of $2,600 (£1500) in fines and a forfeiture order of all items subject to the charges. His firearm license was also revoked.’
The force said they are working with the council to “ensure the accused brings his property into compliance” with building regulations.
Letitzia will also face court later this year for allegedly building the bunker without approval from the council.
The bust came ahead of a significant shake-up of WA’s gun laws, which are set to undergo the biggest slew of changes in 50 years.
“Our laws are outdated. They allow some very high-powered firearms that really are designed for shooting rhinos or penetrating armour plating,” Papalia said.
 “There’s no justifiable reason for them in our state. That’s why we’re going to ban them.”
