A man has been arrested during a police operation in Albury after officers carried out a high-risk response involving firearms. The arrest occurred on Dight Street as police targeted an alleged drug dealer as part of ongoing efforts to disrupt the supply of prohibited substances in the region.
Witnesses reported seeing heavily armed police officers attending the area during the operation, with officers taking precautions due to concerns surrounding the arrest. Police used tactical procedures to safely detain the suspect, ensuring the safety of officers, residents and members of the public nearby.
The operation forms part of broader law enforcement activity targeting organised drug networks and individuals suspected of supplying illicit substances across the Albury-Wodonga region. Police investigations in the area have previously involved searches, arrests and seizures linked to drug supply offences.
Authorities have continued to focus on reducing drug-related crime across regional communities, with specialist police units conducting targeted operations against suspected suppliers.

Police have not released all details of the investigation, including the specific substances allegedly involved or the full list of charges, as inquiries remain ongoing.
The arrest comes as police across the border region continue joint efforts to address criminal activity involving drugs, weapons and organised groups. Previous operations around Albury have resulted in arrests, drug seizures and charges relating to drug supply, possession and weapons offences.
Community safety remains a key focus for NSW Police, with officers encouraging residents to report suspected drug activity. Police say information from the public can assist investigations and help identify people involved in the distribution of illegal substances.
Authorities have reminded residents that anyone who witnesses suspicious activity should contact police or Crime Stoppers, where information can be provided confidentially.
The investigation into the alleged drug dealing activity continues, and further charges may be laid as police complete their inquiries.
