Police this morning said that yesterday, at about 5.20am, detectives carried out a search warrant at a property on Lansdowne Road, Canley Vale.
Officers allegedly seized a rifle, $66,300 in cash, 11 grams of cocaine, five ecstasy tablets, a gram of cannabis, steroids, electronic devices, and a black mask.
A 23-year-old man was arrested and charged with dealing with the proceeds of crime and drug offences.
He was bailed and will appear in court on August 5.
Detectives will allege in court the Lansdowne Road property was where a Toyota Corolla was stored before it was used to dump Baghsarian’s body, and later abandoned and partially destroyed on Good Street in Westmead.
Police have also released CCTV in an attempt to identify a car of interest.
It’s described as a blue Mitsubishi Lancer sedan seen driving on the M5 in Moorebank on February 2, and Vimiera Road in Marsfield on February 12.
