Just for you I bolded the bits you missed:
"The
NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) has seized 14 illegal firearms and charged three men with a total of 73 offences over their alleged involvement in the supply of firearms in Sydney’s south-west.
Earlier this year, members of the NSW JCTT – comprising the Australian Federal Police (AFP), NSW Police Force (NSWPF), the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, and the NSW Crime Commission – received
information relating to a group with possible access to illegal firearms and members with suspected extremist ideology.
Operation Bouwel was subsequently commenced to investigate the group’s involvement in the acquirement and supply of firearms and explosives.
During the course of the investigation, the JCTT seized 11 firearms, including four SKS rifles, a Taurus 9mm pistol .45 calibre self-loading pistol, a .45 calibre handgun, a semi-automatic .22 calibre rifle with silencer, a semi-automatic M1 carbine, and a pump-action shotgun.
Investigators also seized two banana magazines and 523 rounds of ammunition (various calibres).
Following extensive inquiries, Operation Bouwel investigators, with the assistance of the Tactical Operations Unit, the Public Order and Riot Squad and South West Metropolitan Operations Support Group, executed five search warrants and conducted three Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) searches across south west Sydney from 9.30am yesterday (Friday 19 June 2020).
During the searches, investigators seized electronic devices and clothing relevant to the investigation, along with cash and prohibited drugs.
Police also seized a further three firearms – an MK5 rifle, a Berretta 9mm pistol, and a 9mm mini-Glock pistol – as a result of the operation.
All of the firearms will undergo extensive forensic and ballistic examination.
Three men – aged 26, 29, and 30 – were arrested and taken to Bankstown Police Station.
The 29-year-old Bankstown man was charged with 18 counts of offer to supply/supply pistol to person unauthorised to possess it, 17 counts of offer to supply/supply prohibited firearm to unauthorised person, seven counts of supply, give ammunition to person not authorised, unlawfully sell firearms 3 times of more within 12 months, and participate in criminal group contribute to criminal activity.

"Two alleged gun suppliers
arrested in a counter-terrorism investigation will bide their time in custody before applying for bail in two weeks' time.
The pair and a third man, arrested on Friday in co-ordinated raids across Sydney, were not required when their cases were briefly mentioned in Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.
East Hills man Hassan Darwiche and Condell Park man Nassreldine Cheikh will seek bail on July 6 and 7, lawyer Ahmed Dib told the court.
"Our system is built on the presumption of innocence - you're innocent until guilty," Mr Dib said outside court.
Darwiche, Cheikh and Bankstown man Jehad Warideh were arrested by heavily armed police on Friday after a five-month-long investigation by police and intelligence organisations into
a group with possible access to illegal guns and members with suspected extremist ideology.
All three are charged with participating in a criminal group and weapon supply offences, but
do not face any terrorism charges.
"Police often over-exaggerate things, don't they?" Mr Dib told reporters.
From late April, police acquired 11 firearms including a semi-automatic .22 calibre Ruger rifle with a silencer, two high-capacity magazines and an archangel tactical fit-out.
Warideh allegedly supplied three further weapons - an MK5 assault rifle and two 9mm pistols - plus ammunition for $40,000 when he was arrested on Friday.
The 29-year-old faces 44 charges including that he offered to supply a fully automatic Vickers K machine gun - developed for air-to-air combat - for $90,000.
He's also accused of offering an AK47 for $70,000 and selling a 45 calibre pistol with a laser and flashlight for $38,000, court documents show.
Darwiche, 26, was charged with 23 offences including eight counts of offering to supply or supplying a prohibited firearm to an unauthorised person.
Cheikh, 30, faces six charges, including three counts of offering to supply or supplying a pistol to a person unauthorised to possess one.
Police say
there was no evidence of any plan to mount a terrorist attack.
The investigation began in January
following reports of a person with "extremist sympathies" supplying firearms while allegedly "aligned to the Islamic State ideology", Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Scott Lee said on Friday.
"There's no evidence (the man involved wanted to join ISIS) ... but certainly, the
evidence is that he's supportive of ISIS and was looking to provide funds to Islamic State if possible," Mr Lee said.
The case is due to be mentioned in Bankstown Local Court on August 6."
