Authorities reportedly discovered narcotics and a cellphone, while several individuals were observed leaving the premises under police direction.
Officers announced, “Your residence is encircled. Proceed to the front door empty-handed and adhere to our commands.”
It appeared that none of the individuals who vacated the house were the intended subjects of the police operation.
Later, a subsequent search was conducted at a residence on Kent Street in Greenacre around 6 p.m., resulting in the discovery of another phone.
This finding prompted law enforcement to revisit the Isis Street location, where they apprehended a 24-year-old man.
This led to police returning to the Isis Street house, where they arrested a 24-year-old man.
It is believed he was not at the home at the time of the first search.
He was taken to Cabramatta Police Station and charged with multiple offences.
The charges include recruiting others to assist in carrying out illegal activities, participating in a criminal group and contributing to a criminal activity, and knowingly directing the activities of a criminal group.
Investigations are still ongoing.
The man was refused bail, and will appear in court today.
