A series of raids in Sydney have uncovered three clandestine drug labs, police say.

Officers allegedly seized chemicals used to manufacture drugs, as well as ice, cannabis and a gun during the raids at Castlereagh, Berkshire Park, Londonderry and Claremont Meadows.

Three men have been arrested including a 40-year-old man charged with manufacturing and supplying a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime.

A 35-year-old man was charged with manufacturing a commercial quantity of drugs, while a 36-year-old is facing possession and supply charges.

All were refused bail and are expected to face courts in Penrith and Fairfield on Friday afternoon.
