Canley Heights Police Operation: Five Men Arrested After Reports of Firearm at Sydney Home

CANLEY HEIGHTS, SYDNEY — November 11, 2026 — A major police operation in Sydney’s south-west resulted in five men being arrested after officers responded to reports of a man seen with a firearm inside a home in Canley Heights.

According to reporting by The Daily Telegraph, police were called to a property on Torrens Street at approximately 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11.

Officers from specialist units, including the Public Order and Riot Squad, Armed Response Command and Tactical Operations Unit, attended the property. Police also deployed negotiators and established a perimeter around the residence.

Five Men Arrested

During the operation, police removed five men from the property and arrested them. They were subsequently taken to Cabramatta Police Station.

Two 15-year-old girls were also evacuated from the residence and assessed by NSW Ambulance paramedics. Neither girl was injured.

A crime scene was established as investigations continued. At the time of reporting, police had not confirmed whether charges would be laid against the arrested men.

Was There a Shooting?

Although the incident involved reports of a person seen with a firearm, the available reporting does not establish that shots were fired.

There was also no confirmed report of a shooting victim or firearm-related injury. The circumstances surrounding the reported firearm sighting remain subject to police investigation.

It is therefore important to distinguish this police operation from a confirmed shooting incident.

Public Safety and Further Updates

Residents should rely on verified information from NSW Police and established news organisations rather than unconfirmed social media claims.

Further details may become available as investigators establish what happened at the Torrens Street property and determine whether any charges will follow.
