After a five-month investigation involving the Australian Crime Commission and the NSW Police Force's drug squad, officers raided several properties and believe they dismantled a criminal methylamphetamine syndicate.
Police have arrested five bikers during a raid on a drug laboratory in Sydney's north west.
Five men aged 57, 50, 48, 43 and 27 - were charged with drug offences. All are alleged to be members or associates of different outlaw motorcycle groups.
Police they found a clandestine laboratory, drug manufacturing equipment and chemicals at Annangrove. Specialist drug squad detectives dismantled the laboratory.
During subsequent searches at other properties in the north west, police also found a second laboratory, as well as $130,000 and weapons.
NSW Police Force Drug Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Greig Newbery said the supply of illicit drugs would not be tolerated.
"We will allege that this operation has led to the dismantling of a criminal syndicate involved in the illicit drug trade," he said.
"The people charged are alleged to be members or associates of bikie gangs and yesterday's operation is part of this organisation's ongoing focus on OMCGs.
"We believe these arrests will significantly impact on the distribution and supply of methylamphetamine in Sydney and New South Wales."
