NSW Police have charged two men and seized an estimated $1.5 million worth of illicit drugs following an investigation into an alleged drug-supply syndicate operating across Sydney’s west. The investigation was led by State Crime Command’s Taskforce Falcon, which established Strike Force Ledoc in June 2026 to investigate the alleged commercial supply of prohibited drugs by an organised crime network.

Following extensive inquiries, detectives from Strike Force Ledoc, assisted by the Raptor Squad, executed search warrants at properties in Old Guildford and Edmondson Park at approximately 1:10pm on Wednesday, 26 August. Police say the searches resulted in the seizure of significant quantities of suspected illicit drugs and other items.

According to NSW Police, officers allegedly seized approximately 1.4 kilograms of co-caine, 3.5 kilograms of cannabis, 1.1 kilograms of ketamine and 780 grams of MD-MA. Police also seized around 30 kilograms of THC gummies. The combined potential street value of the seized drugs has been estimated by police at approximately $1.5 million. A knife was also allegedly seized during the searches.

Two men, aged 26 and 40, were arrested following the searches and taken to Cabramatta Police Station. Police subsequently charged both men with multiple offences relating to alleged drug supply and other criminal activity.

The younger man was charged with 18 offences, including multiple counts of allegedly supplying prohibited drugs in quantities described by police as commercial or large commercial quantities. He was also charged with offences relating to an alleged unregistered firearm-pistol, a prescribed restricted substance, failure to comply with a digital evidence access order and allegedly organising or assisting a drug premises.

The older man was charged with 17 offences. His charges include multiple alleged commercial drug-supply offences, possession or use of a prohibited weapon without a permit, allegedly dealing with proceeds of crime, possession of a prescribed restricted substance, failure to comply with a digital evidence access order and allegedly organising or assisting a drug premises.

Both men were refused bail and were due to appear before Fairfield Local Court on Thursday, 27 August 2026. Their court appearances mark the next stage of a major investigation that police say is focused on disrupting alleged organised drug-supply activity in Sydney’s west.

Taskforce Falcon is continuing to examine evidence gathered during the investigation. Detectives will assess the seized drugs and other material as they work to establish the alleged structure and activities of the network.

Police say the investigation remains ongoing and further developments may follow as detectives continue their inquiries. The seizure represents a significant quantity of drugs allegedly intended for supply, according to investigators.

Authorities are encouraging anyone with information about the supply of illicit drugs to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Information can be provided confidentially.

The allegations against the two men have not been proven in court. Both men are entitled to the presumption of innocence, and the charges will be determined through the NSW court process.
