A man charged with allegedly harassing a Bondi royal commission witness was found in possession of neo-Nazi material and leaflets for a now proscribed hate group.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) arrested 58-year-old Gavin Begbie at Woodburn in northern NSW on Thursday over three alleged offensive emails to a witness appearing before the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.

During the search warrant in Woodburn, police seized two prohibited weapons - a knife and whip - as well as leaflets for the National Socialist Network (NSN) and a copy of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.
