The man's bike did not have any lights, police said, and the rider was stopped and searched.

That search allegedly led to the discovery of the homemade device.

The rider, who is from the Riverland, was charged with possessing a dangerous article.

The man has been bailed and will appear in the Berri Magistrates Court on June 19.
