AFP arrest father and son over western Sydney meth manufacturing labs
A father and son have been arrested following the discovery of large-scale clandestine meth labs in a major city.
A father and son are in custody for allegedly participating in a large-scale methamphetamine manufacture and supply operation in western Sydney.
Australian Federal Police officers arrested the pair and a third man following the discovery of two clandestine laboratories.
The laboratories were discovered in October 2024 alongside $1m in cash, 130kg in meth and 12kg in cocaine.
The arrest of the 25-year-old Parramatta man, the 55-year-old Kellyville man and the 45-year-old Werombi man bring arrests flowing from the lab discovery to seven, the AFP said on Wednesday.
Police have also released CCTV footage of a man they wish to speak with in their ongoing investigation.
AFP Acting Commander Peter Fogarty is expected to address the media on the operation at 11.30am AEST.
