“These criminals are profiting from dangerous drugs and weapons, with no care for the implications they may have on the public,” Superintendent Bell said.

“We have absolutely zero tolerance for organised criminal activity and won’t stop until we have not only taken away their infrastructure, but removed these criminals off the streets and behind bars.

“This is another instance of success by our Region Enforcement Squad in showing the community that we are out in force tackling drug supply and organised crime.

“The community can always assist police by being vigilant to what is happening in their suburb, and reporting any suspicious behaviour to police.”
