Officers from the Tactical Operations Unit conducted an operation on George Street in the south-west Sydney suburb of Liverpool late on Thursday afternoon (local time).<\/p>\n
Footage from the scene showed the handcuffed men face down on the ground, while later they were seen sitting on the floor facing a fence as heavily armed police and riot squad officers stood behind them.<\/p>\n
