A Raymond Terrace man has been committed to face trial on 35 drug and firearm related offences.
Jason Christopher Gibson, the alleged head of a Hunter drug and firearm syndicate, has been in Cessnock Correctional Centre since he was arrested during a police raid in November last year.
Detectives say he and his associates consorted with outlaw motorcycle gangs including the Nomads and Finks.
It's also alleged the 24-year-old tried to supply drugs and firearms to an undercover officer at a fast food restaurant in Rutherford in August last year.
Detectives from Strike Force Wilwendam swooped on homes in Gillieston Heights, Rutherford, Telarah and Raymond Terrace last November, arresting five people including Jason Christopher Gibson, and allegedly seized a shotgun, ammunition and a quantity of drugs.
The 24-year-old heads back to Newcastle District Court next month to formally enter his pleas.
