120,000 ecstasy tablets seized February 27, 2005 news.com.au
MORE than 120,000 ecstasy tablets worth as much as $12 million were allegedly seized by police in a dramatic early morning raid on a house in the Sydney suburb of Dee Why yesterday.
A man who witnessed the raid said police arrived outside the house not long after 4am.
After a loud blast on a siren, one officer using a loud hailer had called out: "The occupants of number 66 - please come out of the house.
"You are surrounded.
"This is the police."
The man, who did not wish to be named, said heavily armed members of the State Protection Group had circled the modest brick house.
"It was pitch dark," the man said.
"They had a big armoured tank (a specially modified police vehicle) in the front with a searchlight to illuminate the place.
"There were four police out the front in full gear, flak jackets, pointing their rifles at the house."
Other police officers had been positioned down the side of the house as well as at the rear.
"They weren't mucking around," the man said.
He said one man in pyjamas had walked out of the house with his hands raised.
A second man had retreated into the house but walked out a short time later.
The men, aged 34 and 59, were arrested and then taken to the Dee Why police station.
Inspector Mick Sheehy, from the Gangs Squad, said an estimated 120,000 to 130,000 MDMA tablets weighing about 42kg had been found inside, along with drug manufacturing equipment.
Inspector Sheehy said it was not known whether the powder used to make the tablets had been imported or manufactured in Australia.
He said police investigations into the matter were continuing.
Several hours after the raid, police, a forensic chemist and other specialists were still working in the front yard of the house, sorting and logging items which had been found on the premises.

Yea. $100 a pill is a bit high, but that is way more accurate than they usually are.
