Two men have been charged after police say they uncovered large quantities of drugs and cash during raids in Sydney’s southwest, as part of an ongoing crackdown on illicit drug supply.

Two men have been charged after police say they uncovered a large quantity of prohibited drugs and cash during co-ordinated raids in Sydney’s southwest, as part of an ongoing investigation into drug supply networks operating online.

About 7.30am on July 23, officers executed a search warrant at a property on Flatrock Rd, Kingsgrove, where they seized about 35kg of cannabis leaf, 246 vials of cannabis oil, a quantity of cocaine and $5000 in cash.

A 40-year-old man was arrested at the scene and taken to Campsie police station where he was charged with a string of offences, including supplying a prohibited drug in a quantity equal to or greater than the large commercial threshold and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime.

He was also charged with two counts of supplying a prohibited drug in a quantity equal to or greater than the commercial threshold; dealing with the proceeds of crime with property valued at less than $100,000 and less than $5000; and possessing a prohibited drug.

At the same time, officers carried out a second search warrant at a home on Parkland Ave, Punchbowl, where they discovered 1.75kg of cocaine, 341 grams of cannabis, over $14,000 in cash and knuckle dusters.

A 42-year-old man was arrested and also taken to Campsie police station where he was charged with dealing with the proceeds of crime with property valued at $100,000 or more and supplying a prohibited drug in a quantity more than small but less than indictable.

He was also charged with supplying a prohibited drug in a quantity more than indictable but less than commercial; supplying a prohibited drug in a quantity equal to or greater than the large commercial threshold; and dealing with proceeds of crime valued between $5000 and $100,000 and possessing a prohibited drug.

Both men were refused bail and are scheduled to appear at Bankstown Local Court on Thursday.

Inquiries under Strike Force Greentree continue.
