Visuals depicted several men sitting on the ground as camouflage-clad cops moved around. Officers had detained the suspects at gunpoint, who were also forced face-down on the pavement, handcuffed and searched. One of the men appeared bloodied from injuries during the arrest.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the men were driving a white hatchback with Victorian plates and were armed.

The police have confirmed that the operation has concluded.
