Three men have been charged after officers executed a series of early-morning raids targeting members and associates of the Finks Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.
Raptor Squad officers executed 14 firearm prohibition order checks and issued 13 consorting warnings for associating with convicted offenders on Tuesday.
Police allegedly seized 35g of cocaine, 16g of methylamphetamine, 12 MDMA tablets, and a small quantity of cannabis during the early-morning raids in Sydney’s west.

At 5.45am, a car being driven by a 32-year-old man was stopped for a firearms prohibition order compliance check in Auburn.

Goodworth had been involved in an alleged break-in at a Edensor Park home owned by a man with suspected links to the Assyrian Kings gang to steal up to $250,000.
The sergeant-in-arms had tried to break down the door but a man inside opened fire, hitting him twice through the door.
