Three men have been charged with a combined 22 offences following a major police operation targeting violent offenders, knife crime and drug-related activity in Tamworth, New South Wales.
The arrests came after officers executed a search warrant at a home in Tamworth as part of an ongoing crackdown on serious crime. During the raid, police allegedly seized firearms, ammunition, handcuffs and suspected illegal drugs, along with other items that will undergo forensic examination.
Authorities said the operation forms part of a broader initiative aimed at reducing violent crime and removing illegal weapons and drugs from the community.
The three men now face a total of 22 criminal charges, including alleged firearm, drug and weapons-related offences. Police have not released the full list of charges or identified the accused.
Investigators are continuing to examine the seized items, and further charges have not been ruled out as the investigation progresses.
The operation highlights ongoing efforts by New South Wales Police to target repeat offenders and disrupt criminal activity across the region.
