Strike Force Raptor officers have seized firearms, including an SKS assault rifle, believed to be linked to the ‘Notorious’ outlaw motorcycle gang.
Following extensive investigations into ‘Notorious’, officers raided a storage unit in Packard Avenue, Castle Hill, about 3.45pm yesterday.
There they found the assault rifle, as well as a loaded sawn-off shotgun, a loaded .22 calibre rifle and about 1000 rounds of ammunition.
Detectives believe at least one of the firearms has been used in shooting offences and each of the weapons will now undergo ballistic testing.
Inquiries are ongoing.
Strike Force Raptor was established by the State Crime Command’s Gangs Squad two years ago and is a proactive and high-impact operation targeting outlaw motorcycle gangs and their alleged associated criminal enterprises.
