Two men, Michael John Seymour and Peter Raymond Withers, were arrested. Seymour pleaded guilty to possessing an unauthorized firearm and supplying a large commercial quantity of drugs, following an investigation linked to a 2024 vehicle crash. Later in August, police arrested a 29-year-old man following a vehicle stop on the Great Western Highway at Wentworth Falls. Subsequent search warrants executed in Lawson by multiple enforcement squads led to the seizure of various items. The individual faces multiple charges, including participating in a criminal group and supplying prohibited drugs in commercial and large commercial quantities. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-28: NSW Police arrest man in major drug supply network bust A 29-year-old man faces multiple drug supply and criminal group charges following a NSW Police operation in Lawson and Wentworth Falls. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nsw-police-arrest-man-in-major-drug-supply-network-bust ### 2026-08-07: New South Wales police seize MAC‑10 and cocaine in organized‑crime bust NSW police stopped a car carrying a MAC‑10, silencer, ammo and 62 g of cocaine, arresting Michael John Seymour and Peter Raymond Withers, who pleaded guilty to firearm and drug offences. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/new-south-wales-police-seize-mac10-and-cocaine-in-organizedcrime-bust --- Cite as: NSW organized crime and drug enforcement operations.
