Authorities executed a search warrant on a storage unit, uncovering a significant cache that included a “flashbang” grenade, seven firearms, three gel blasters, and an extensive stockpile of 15,000 live ammunition rounds. Additionally, they confiscated numerous loaded and unloaded magazines along with seven ballistic vests.

The seizure also revealed an array of items such as 16 electronic stun devices, handcuffs, firearm components including silencers, tracking equipment, knives, various electronic gadgets, a security uniform, and realistic silicone head masks.

Subsequent investigations led police to execute three more search warrants at different locations: a property on The Avenue in Yagoona, another on Keswick Street in Georges Hall, and a storage facility situated in Moorebank.

During these operations, authorities discovered and seized a loaded pistol, a loaded revolver, two additional firearms, firearm components, six magazines, two silencers, mobile phones, and approximately $140,000 in cash.

A 39-year-old individual now faces 60 charges, including the possession of numerous unregistered firearms and holding unauthorized and prohibited weapons.

He was refused bail and will appear before Bankstown Local Court today.
