Chris Baghsarian was allegedly kidnapped and murdered in a case of mistaken identity.\u00a0NSW Police<\/p>\n

Police this morning said that yesterday, at about 5.20am, detectives carried out a search warrant at a property on Lansdowne Road, Canley Vale.<\/p>\n

Officers allegedly seized a rifle<\/a>, $66,300 in cash, 11 grams of cocaine, five ecstasy tablets, a gram of cannabis, steroids, electronic devices, and a black mask.<\/p>\n

A 23-year-old man was arrested and charged with dealing with the proceeds of crime<\/a> and drug<\/a> offences.<\/p>\n

He was bailed and will appear in court on August 5.<\/p>\n

Detectives will allege in court the Lansdowne Road property was where a Toyota Corolla was stored before it was used to dump Baghsarian\u2019s body, and later abandoned and partially destroyed on Good Street in Westmead.<\/p>\n

Police have also released CCTV in an attempt to identify a car of interest.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
