Police say the substance was uncovered, along with $1.16 million in cash and a loaded handgun, at the Lachlan Street premises at Waterloo in December.

A substance believed to be crystal methylamphetamine, an automatic firearm, two loaded magazines, and a silencer were also allegedly found.

 

The 44kg of pseudoephedrine has an estimated potential street value of $1.3 million, police say.

Asian Crime Squad detectives charged the 46-year-old man last week with supplying a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug.

He was refused bail and will appear at Central Local Court on Tuesday May 18.

The NSW Crime Commission has placed a restraining order on $14 million worth of assets in connection with the investigation, which is underway by Strike Force McIlwain.
