Police allege a truck carrying two shipping containers was blocked by a Toyota Hilux at about 9.45am on Thursday 2 July 2026.
Five men allegedly removed the driver from the truck, with one allegedly armed with a pistol. Police say the driver was held at gunpoint while other members of the group opened one of the containers.
The group allegedly left the scene empty-handed. The truck driver was not injured.
South Sydney Police Area Command and the Robbery and Serious Crime Squad began an investigation under Strike Force Zutav. Police say three people had already been charged and remain before the courts.
