An alleged bikie drug kingpin has lashed out at police at Sydney Airport after arriving on a flight from New Zealand.

The 34-year-old was one of two men arrested as part of a police crackdown on organised crime following a chaotic altercation at the airport.

In dramatic scenes, the accused drug kingpin was seen trying to break free from officers before lashing out at a camera filming his arrest at Sydney Airport after spending time in New Zealand.

His arrest follows NSW Police raids on properties across Sydney in the past week.

Officers allegedly found 1.15kg of cocaine, 1.1kg of methamphetamine, 26L of gamma-Butyrolactone, and 13 firearms including five sub-machine guns, two semi-automatic pistols, two revolvers, ammunition, a silencer and $2.75 million in cash.

On Thursday police stopped a car in Sydney's Alexandria and arrested the man's 32-year-old brother.

He was charged with three counts of supplying a prohibited drug, dealing in the proceeds of crime, participating in a criminal group, and aggravated firearms offences.

Two other arrests were made during the car stop.

Shortly after the arrests police raided a unit at Homebush, where they seized more items.
