Raptor Squad Police have arrested a man and seized firearms, ammunition and drugs during raids on three homes in Lake Macquarie and the Central Coast.
Squad members allegedly found ammunition and prohibited drugs during compliance checks at homes in Halekulani and Cameron Park.
Then at about 9.30am on Tuesday 3 February 2026 a man was spotted running from scene of the single vehicle crash on the Pacific Highway at San Remo carrying a black bag.
A search of the area by the Dog Squad uncovered two black bags which police say contained two pistols, and a large quantity of methylamphetamine and MDMA.
Officers then went to a San Remo home, allegedly finding 7 more firearms, a large amount of drugs, two pill presses, drug paraphernalia and $6500 in cash.
They later returned to the home and arrested a 24-year-old man.
He's been charged with 19 offences including supplying a large commercial quantity of prohibited drugs, firearms offences and knowingly deal with the proceeds of crime.
The man's been refused bail to face the Bail Division Court today (Thursday 5 February 2026).
