A man has been charged over his alleged role in a conspiracy to commit a public place shooting in Sydney.
Detectives, with the assistance of tactical operations, raided a house on Isis Street, Fairfield West, about 11.15pm on Sunday.
They allegedly located and seized prohibited drugs and a mobile phone device.
The search warrant was part of an investigation during December into an alleged plot to commit a public place shooting in Sydney’s south west.
Police ordered the occupants to come out with their hands up via loudspeaker, according to shocked witnesses.
A day later, about 8.20pm on Monday, police returned to the house and arrested a 24-year-old man.
He was taken to Cabramatta Police Station where he was charged with more than 10 offences.
These included one count of conspiracy to commit offence unspecified, one count of use, supply or possesion of a defaced firearm and two counts of possessing an unauthorised pistol.
He was charged with knowingly directing activities of a criminal group, discharging a firearm with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm, recruiting others to assist in carrying out criminal activity and participating in a criminal group.
The man faces three counts of supplying prohibited drug more than an indictable and less than a commercial quantity, and two counts of supply drugs less or equal to a small quantity.
He was refused bail to appear at Bail Division Court 6 on Tuesday. Investigations are ongoing.
More to come.
