Homes in Sydney's west have been raided after threats were allegedly made to attack a Sydney police station.
Police said the raids were carried out by the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad just after 6am on Wednesday after information was received about a threat of an attack on a Sydney police station.
"Those that have threatened police officers and police premises should not be thinking that we are going to stop our investigations or they could take any comfort from fact we found nothing this morning," Assistant Commissioner Mark Jenkins told reporters in Sydney.
"We are going to continue to investigate, we will continue tococt these types of operations going forward whilst we have specific information in relation to those threats."
The operation spearheaded by the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad began on separate streets in Merrylands in Sydney's south west after 6am on Wednesday.
The raids were conducted under firearms prohibition orders previously served on a number of men and followed a threat made against a police station.
But "nothing of interest" was found.
"MEOCS detectives are continuing their investigation into information about a threat involving a firearm at a greater Sydney police station," police said in a statement.
A large number of officers had descended on premises in Lockwood St, where they searched three cars, and neighbouring Blackwood Road.
The two-story Lockwood St home was in the sights of investigators two months ago after Mr Cheng was shot dead outside the Parramatta police headquarters by 15-year-old Farhad Jabar.
It's believed to be the family home of 22-year-old Talal Alameddine, who's accused of providing the gun used in the fatal shooting of Mr Cheng on October 2.
Alameddine was arrested and released without charge after police raids on October 7.
He was rearrested a week later and charged with supplying the gun, breaching a firearms prohibition order and hindering police.
Alameddine remains in police custody.
Last month, Alameddine's lawyers applied for bail but Magistrate Margaret McGlynn refused, saying she believed he posed "a great threat to the safety of the community".
Alameddine is due appear in court next week.
Jabar was shot dead outside police headquarters on October 2 when officers returned fire.
