Police have charged 140 people and seized large amounts of drugs, weapons, cash and stolen items valued at $2 million in raids targeting Perth's suburban dealers.

The items included $1.25 million worth of the drug ice, $264,833 in cash, cocaine, ecstasy, weapons including homemade sub-machine guns and stolen items such as electric guitars.

"The occupants of these properties are causing significant harm in our community, and in many cases are also bringing misery to their law abiding neighbours," police commander Pryce Scanlan said.
