Why were police heavily armed and entering the suburbs in big black armoured vans?

Well, turns out it was to arrest a bikie alleged to have a whole heap of illicit substances, illegal weapons and other unauthorised material.

A Comanchero was among seven people arrested as police cracked down on firearms.

During a search of the premises, officers allegedly seized an electronic storage device, mobile phones, prohibited knives, various prohibited drugs believed to be methylamphetamine, heroin, MDMA and steroids, as well as prescription drugs.

The man was charged with multiple offences, including three counts of possessing or using a prohibited weapon without a permit, possessing an unauthorised prohibited firearm, and not keeping a firearm safely.

Whilst it looks like something out of American TV, it was just a regular, quiet suburb in Sydney.

If you hear, see or know of anything suspicious happening in your neighbourhood, be sure to tell the police or Crime Stoppers.
