Six people have been arrested after police raided properties in Melbourne and uncovered drugs, firearms, counterfeit money and cash.

The raids were jointly carried out on five properties in Braybrook and St Albans by state and federal officers under Operation Paratroopers, targeting organised crime syndicates in the city's west.

The drugs included ice, heroin, ecstasy, GHB, pseudoephedrine and prescription medication while police also seized shotguns and rifles, ammunition, counterfeit money and equipment, stolen goods and a large quantity of cash.

Two 24-year-old men, two women, aged 32 and 39, and a 43-year-old man, all from Braybrook, and a 25-year-old St Albans man were arrested and charged.

They will face Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday on various charges relating to drugs, weapons and counterfeiting offences.
