A dramatic foot chase on Honeysuckle Drive ended in police arresting two men on the street outside the Lume apartment building on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers from the Organised Crime Squad attached to NSW Police assisted members of the Australian Federal Police to apprehend two men, a spokesperson said in a statement, as part of an ongoing joint investigation between the two agencies.
The men were taken into custody, where they remained while inquiries continued, the AFP said when contacted for comment.
Neither NSW Police nor the AFP would elaborate further on the cause of the action.
Photos captured as the operation unfolded reveal police apprehending two men of caucasian appearance - one shirtless and without shoes - before they were handcuffed and taken from the scene.
An AFP spokesperson said further details on the cause of the arrests would be revealed "at an appropriate time".
