A man has been charged over his alleged role in a conspiracy to commit a public place shooting in Sydney.
Detectives, with the assistance of tactical operations, raided a house on Isis Street, Fairfield West, about 11.15pm on Sunday.

The search warrant was part of an investigation during December into an alleged plot to commit a public place shooting in Sydney’s south west.
Police ordered the occupants to come out with their hands up via loudspeaker, according to shocked witnesses.

He was taken to Cabramatta Police Station where he was charged with more than 10 offences.
These included one count of conspiracy to commit offence unspecified, one count of use, supply or possesion of a defaced firearm and two counts of possessing an unauthorised pistol.
