Husband and wife charged as part of investigation into illegal firearms and drug manufacture
A husband and wife were among three people arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into the supply of illegal firearms across Sydney.
In May 2020, the State Crime Command’s Drug and Firearms Squad established Strike Force Digil to investigate a criminal syndicate selling illegal firearms across Sydney.
Detectives were assisted by Western Australia Police (WAPOL) during the investigation.
So far, the investigation has seen detectives seize 14 handguns with a street value of $200,000.
As part of ongoing inquiries, investigators received information connecting the same criminal group to a clandestine laboratory that was located by police on Thursday 30 April 2020.
