Four people have been arrested as part of investigations into a major drug supply ring in Lake Macquarie.
In May this year, Lake Macquarie Police established Strike Force Loxton to investigate the supply of prohibited drugs on the Western side of the lake.
On Tuesday, several search warrants were executed in multiple suburbs including Morisset, Wyee and Dora Creek.
Police seized methylamphetamine, cocaine, cannabis, $100,000 in cash, replica firearms and knives.
A 39-year-old Dora Creek man was arrested and refused bail to appear at Toronto Local Court on Wednesday.
He's been charged with supplying a prohibited drug on an on-going basis, dealing with the proceeds of crime, possessing a prohibited weapon and other offences.
Three other people have also been arrested, and were granted conditional bail to appear in Toronto Local Court in January.
