POLICE have seized an assault rifle believed to be linked to the Brothers 4 Life gang during a raid on a home in Sydney's south west this morning.
Officers from the Middle Eastern Organised Crime squad found the SKS semiautomatic assault rifle and a 30-round magazine hidden under a bush in the backyard of the Liverpool home after police executed a search about 10.45am.
Police said the weapon had a modified grip, which made it easier to hide or shoot for the hip.
Police arrested a 29-year-old man who lived at the scene.
Deputy commissioner Nick Kaldas said it was concerning that such high-powered weaponry was potentially in the hands of criminals.
"Any semi automatic weapon is very dangerous because you simply don't have to stop and reload or anything else,'' Mr
Kaldas said "When we have seen mass shooting incidents in the US and other places usually this type of weapon has been involved.''
The gun is now being analysed to determine whether it has been used in any shootings.
Officers were tipped off to the location of the assault rifle and Middle Eastern Organised Crime squad acting superintendent Steve Patton said cracks were appearing in the gang's wall of silence, which has long frustrated police.
"We've still got a way to go but as time goes on we are receiving more and more,'' Mr Patton said.
"It's absolutely encouraging, but we still need more.''
Last night police charged another Brothers 4 Life member with three counts of attempted murder the shooting of another gang member in Bankstown last week.
The 37-year-old is the fourth person to be charged over the shooting.
The man is expected to appear in Burwood Local Court early next year.
The man is the 11th Brothers 4 Life member to be arrested in recent days - but police were not yet ready to declare victory.
"We believe membership of Brothers 4 Life is in the dozens not the hundreds, but it is a very fluid group,'' Mr Kaldas said.
"I wouldn't say we're ripping them apart but I would say we've arrested and charged a number of their leadership and I would hope and think that it would have an impact on the way they operate.''
