A search of a nearby hatchback found 550g of cocaine and 140g of MDMA.

The two men in the limousine, one aged 23 and the other aged 28, were arrested and taken to Burwood Police Station.

Search warrants were later executed at two properties on Hunter Street in Strathfield, where police arrested two men, one 18-year-old and another aged 35.

Between the two homes they searched, police reportedly found $1.5 million in cash, 5 pounds of methamphetamine, and 5 gallons of methamphetamine oil.

Two hydraulic press machines, two ballistic vests and several driver’s licenses were also allegedly found.

All four men were charged with large commercial drug shipments.

The men arrested at the Strathfield properties were also charged with participating in a criminal group and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime.

They were denied bail to appear in Burwood Magistrates Court on Monday.

The investigations are ongoing.
