A police raid on a suspected criminal safe house in Punchbowl, Sydney's southwest, has resulted in 11 arrests and the seizure of five high-powered semi-automatic weapons, $40,000 worth of drugs, cash, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and 53 mobile phones. Taskforce Falcon conducted the operation following a three-month investigation into three separate public place shootings across the Illawarra, Punchbowl, and Greenacre, with at least two incidents believed to be cases of mistaken identity. Police are examining data from the seized mobile phones to identify potential links to drug supply networks and other violent crimes across Sydney.
