On Wednesday (8), officers from both teams carried out a search warrant at an address on Ashey Road in Ryde.
A number of items including a sword and knuckleduster, that are now considered illegal under the possession of an offensive weapon in a private place legislation, self-contained gas cartridge air weapons, that are being investigated as to their legality, and suspected Class A and B drugs were seized.
