Police have busted a major Coffs Coast drug supply ring allegedly run by members of the Lone Wolf Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.

Seven months of covert investigations into the commercial supply of ice and cocaine in the region culminated in several dawn raids being conducted simultaneously at homes in Coffs Harbour on Wednesday.

A total of 57 officers from the Coffs/Clarence Police District and Strike Force Raptor stormed eight homes, arresting four people on drug supply offences.

They also seized three cars, a Harley Davidson motorbike, a jet ski and two trail bikes believed to have been bought with drug money.

A 59-year-old man was charged with large commercial supply of cocaine, a 46-year-old woman with knowingly taking part on the commercial supply of cocaine, a 29-year-old man with commercial supply of meth, and a 42-year-old man with ongoing supply of cocaine.

The raids followed the execution of three search warrants in Coffs Harbour on Thursday, June 17, which saw police arrest two people including two men - one aged 40 and the other 43. They are facing drugs and firearms charges.

All of the homes searched were within the Coffs Harbour postcode, according to Coffs/Clarence Police District Crime Manager, Detective Chief Inspector Guy Flaherty.

Speaking outside Coffs Harbour Police Station on Wednesday, Det Insp Flaherty said over $400,000 of ice and cocaine were seized in total, including 1kg of cocaine.

He said all the accused offenders were Coffs locals and had links to the Lone Wolf Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.

“It’s fair to say this operation is ongoing. While we have executed six search warrants in the last three weeks, there will be... further arrests made.

“It’s a clear signal for those who want to be involved in the distribution of drugs... that police may currently be investigating you. You may be subject to a search warrant and you may get woken up at a time that is convenient to us and very inconvenient to you.”

Det Insp Flaherty took the opportunity to caution drug users on the Coffs Coast, revealing police discovered premises where the drugs were being made in acid.

“If you are involved in the use of drugs you need to consider where the drugs have come from,” he said.

“These drug dealers do not apply themselves to work health and safety regulation standards. They leave themselves in a position to make money out of other people’s misery.

Inquiries are continuing as part of Strike Force Goodparla.
