Police seize grenades, guns and millions of dollars worth of drugs from alleged Sydney safe house - Sydney, NSW
Smart summary
NSW Police uncover military-style weapons, explosives and large drug quantities during a raid at an alleged organised crime location in Sydney’s south-west.
NSW Police have seized a large collection of weapons, explosives and illegal drugs during a raid on an alleged safe house in Glenfield, in Sydney’s south-west. The operation was carried out by Taskforce Falcon detectives investigating organised crime activity.
During the search, police allegedly discovered six live grenades, multiple firearms, ammunition and a significant quantity of illicit drugs. The weapons reportedly included semi-automatic assault rifles, shotguns and a pistol, along with firearm parts and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition. The discovery of the grenades led to specialist officers being called in to safely secure and remove the explosives.
Police also allegedly found a range of drugs, including cocaine, methylamphetamine, ketamine, cannabis, heroin and MDMA, with authorities estimating the total value of the seized drugs at several million dollars. Investigators said the raid demonstrated the level of threat posed by organised criminal groups operating in suburban areas.
A 26-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman were arrested during the operation. The man has been charged with multiple offences relating to firearms, explosives, drug supply and proceeds of crime, while the woman faces charges connected to the alleged drug premises. The matters are expected to continue through the NSW court system.
NSW Police said the operation was part of ongoing efforts to disrupt criminal networks involved in weapons trafficking and drug distribution. Authorities warned that military-style weapons and explosives create serious risks for communities and said investigations into the source of the weapons and drugs are continuing.
The raid highlights continuing police efforts to target organised crime groups across Sydney, particularly networks suspected of using suburban properties to store illegal weapons and drugs.
