NSW Police have arrested several men allegedly tied to a crime ring described as “one of the most dangerous and destructive groups Sydney has seen to date.”
The syndicate is accused of supplying over $1.8 billion worth of cocaine across the city between February and July this year.
Detectives claim the group has supplied over 1.2 tonnes of cocaine to NSW this year.
Investigators say the ring controlled the price of cocaine in Sydney “through the manipulation of the supply”.

In April, NSW Police launched an investigation into a 21-year-old Sydney man. During a search, officers uncovered 13kg of cocaine with an estimated street value of $20 million.
Detectives later linked the man to an organised crime network called ‘The Commission.’
This week, police arrested six other men across Sydney. It’s alleged the men stashed cocaine in hidden compartments in cars. Officers also allege there was 20kg of cocaine in a bag “thrown over a fence”.
