Almost 170 people have been charged in NSW Police's Western Region under a statewide blitz targeting domestic violence.

Police say they seized 60 firearms from 22 searches across the region, which covers towns from roughly Bathurst and Walgett in the east to Broken Hill and Dareton in the west.

Officers also carried out about 2100 bail (96) and Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (2026) checks in the region, identifying 171 breaches.

“We will continue to arrest and charge violent, repeat offenders who disregard their court orders,” NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Peter Mckenna said.

“We use intelligence to identified offenders who have an increased capability, intent and access to a victim.

"Our dedicated officers find, arrest and charge these offenders to prevent further incidents.

“There have been 160,000 reported incidents of domestic violence in the past 12 months, which is an average of about 438 per day.

"That is unacceptable and is not tolerated by police or our society."

Police also said they made 70 arrests in the region, among 627 statewide across the four-day Operation Amarok X.

Operation Amarok has been running since early 2023.

Over 5000 offenders have been arrested and more than 10,000 charges laid since, according to police.
