Drugs, guns seized in NSW raids

About 10 kilograms of cannabis, seven guns, a Taser and more than $250,000 cash have been seized and five men, including a 71-year-old, have been charged following investigations into firearm and drug supply in NSW.

In January and April properties around Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and Port Stephens were raided as part of an operation targeting a crime syndicate.

"In total, we seized 195 grams of amphetamine, 10kg of cannabis, over $250,000 in cash, seven firearms and a Taser," Superintendent Brett Greentree said.

"This is a very pleasing result."

Five men, including a 71-year-old arrested at Hamilton, have been charged for offences ranging from firearm possession and supply to supply a commercial quantity of prohibited drugs.

Two of the men are listed to appear at Newcastle Local Court on May 6 while others are due before Belmont Local Court in May and June.
