A major police operation has resulted in four men, including a teenager, being refused bail after a wave of serious firearm and criminal group charges were laid across Sydney’s west and north-west.
A 20-year-old man arrested at Old Toongabbie was hit with 13 charges, including multiple counts of possessing unauthorised pistols, acquiring unregistered firearms, possessing defaced and stolen firearms, and holding ammunition without a licence. He is also accused of possessing loaded firearms in a public place, participating in a criminal group, having suspected stolen goods in his custody, and hindering police in the execution of their duties. He was refused bail and appeared before Bail Division Court 6 on Tuesday 30 December 2025.
Three other men arrested at Rouse Hill were charged with 11 offences each, including possessing more than three unregistered firearms, one of which was a prohibited pistol, multiple counts of possessing suspected stolen goods, possessing or using prohibited weapons without a permit, possessing ammunition without authority, and taking part in a criminal group contributing to criminal activity.
One of those men, a 23-year-old, was further charged with an additional eight offences over his alleged involvement in a public place shooting at Tallawong.
