Three meth dealers have admitted to drug trafficking after a police investigation involving listening devices uncovered the operation, a court has heard.
Aysha Nikita Wilson, 38, pleaded guilty in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Wednesday to 24 counts of drug trafficking.
The court heard Wilson trafficked in a controlled drug, namely methamphetamine at O’Sullivan Beach, Christies Beach and other places between June 2, 2021 and March 16, 2022.
Melanie Kate Ferenc, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of drug trafficking, relating to an incident on June 29, 2021 at O’Sullivan Beach.
Their co-accused Marwan Banna, 58, pleaded not guilty to two counts of drug trafficking.
Cameron Lachlan Stuart, the fourth man arrested in the operation, pleaded guilty in the District Court earlier this month to more than 50 drug trafficking charges.
His charges stem from June 2, 2021 to March 17, 2022 at O’Sullivan Beach and other places.
Stuart, 33, of Christies Beach, will face court again in December.
The court previously heard it was a “complex” file which involved a “substantial amount” of telephone intercepts and listening devices that resulted in the defendants being charged.
“The first that was arrested was Mr Banna,” the prosecutor said at the time.
“He was charged with one count of drug trafficking on June 2 (2021) where there was 21g of meth located in his premises.”
On Wednesday, Magistrate John Wells committed Wilson, of Christies Beach, and Ferenc, of Morphett Vale, to the District Court in December.
Mr Banna, of Onkaparinga Hills, was committed to the District Court in January, where a date will be set for trial.
