Two men, aged 24 and 31, were arrested at the property and each charged with three counts of supplying a prohibited drug in large commercial quantities.

They were refused bail and are due to appear in Parramatta Magistrates Court on Saturday.

NSW Police Detective Commissioner Peter Faux said authorities were continuing to target drug supplies across the state.

“We can relentlessly pursue anyone involved in bringing drugs onto our streets,” Det Supt Faux said.
