Also found were a 9mm Glock pistol with a dozen loaded magazines, and a five litre chemistry beaker inside an oven.

A 43-year-old man was arrested at the home, where three young children were also living.

HAZMAT crew moved in after the arrest to seal the home for processing.

The raid is part of a Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad investigation into the supply of steroids in southwestern Sydney.

The man has been charged with 26 offences, including making and selling the muscle-building drugs commercially, and possessing the unauthorised Glock.

Five motorcycles, a safe and cash were also among the items hauled by police on Tuesday afternoon.

The man was refused bail on Wednesday and will next appear in court on October 22.
