Four men and two teenage boys have been charged after police allegedly caught two of them travelling in a Sydney<\/a> taxi with loaded guns.<\/p>\n

The arrests are part of an ongoing investigation into a shooting in Sydney\u2019s north-west in November where police allege two men fired shots and a stun grenade into a home in Tallawong.<\/p>\n

A 19-year-old was arrested and charged for his role in the incident as police continue to home in on other members of the allegedly violent group.<\/p>\n

Police on Monday said they arrested a 16-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man in Old Toongabbie in Sydney\u2019s west.<\/p>\n

The pair, also believed by police to have taken part in the Tallawong shooting, were travelling in a taxi and allegedly in possession of two loaded firearms and a dedicated encrypted criminal communication device.<\/p>\n

Acting Det Supt Brad Abdy of New South Wales<\/a> police said the men were on their way to commit a serious violent act.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were stopped by members of our highway patrol, and they were actually in a taxi,\u201d he told reporters on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were arrested shortly after they ran \u2026 We believe they were on their way to commit a further serious act involving firearms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later on Monday, a 25-year-old man was arrested in Guildford where police allege he was found in possession of two mobile phones, one of which was also an encrypted communication device.<\/p>\n

He was refused bail and is set to appear before a Sydney court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Further searches at Rouse Hill in north-west Sydney uncovered four stolen vehicles, five firearms, thousands of rounds of high-calibre ammunition, fake number plates and two ballistic vests.<\/p>\n

As police were on scene, three males \u2013 two men aged 18 and 23, and a 17-year-old boy \u2013 were arrested after trying to flee the property.<\/p>\n

The 16-year-old boy and 20-year-old man found travelling in the taxi with loaded firearms have been charged with a range of offences including multiple firearm-related offences and participating in criminal group activity.<\/p>\n

Both have been refused bail and were set to appear before a court in Sydney on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The three men who fled during the police search of a Rouse Hill property have also been charged with similar offences.<\/p>\n

All three were refused bail to appear before a Sydney court later on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis seizure certainly hinders that group and dismantles that criminal syndicate,\u201d Abdy said.<\/p>\n

Police believe the group operate as a team contracted to carry out offences on behalf of others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four men and two teenage boys have been charged after police allegedly caught two of them travelling in…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":479865,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4740,50],"class_list":{"0":"post-479864","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-australia","9":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115808144205564343","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479864"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
