Six people have been arrested in a large-scale police raid in Huntly that saw officers collect guns, drugs and stolen items.

Five men aged between 26 and 45 and a 35-year-old woman have been arrested and will appear before Huntly District Court on Wednesday on a variety of firearms and drug-related charges.

Police found three firearms, three air guns and two imitation firearms as well as 10 ounces of cannabis, methamphetamine, cash and stolen property.

The raid used the full force of the police, which included the Armed Offenders Squad, drug dogs and a helicopter.

The search warrants were carried out as part of Operation Talaus and Operation Tumble targeting drug supply, possession and unlawful possession of firearms in the area.
