Shaheen Waheed fronts court over meth and deadly weaponry find

The case of a crook dubbed “Superfly” in drug circles and another man behind the discovery of a frightening collection of deadly weaponry and meth has taken a new twist.

Shaheen Waheed has pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and possession of firearms and explosive substance.

A crook dubbed the “Superfly” and another man have admitted to a string of charges in connection with the discovery of a frightening collection of deadly weapons and large scale drug trafficking in St Kilda.

Shaheen Waheed, 47, unemployed of St Kilda and 45-year-old Richmond man Marc Andrews pleaded guilty to their roles in the offending when they appeared in the County Court on Thursday.

Both men were arrested during a series of drug raids that uncovered ballistic vests hidden in the wardrobes and drawers, a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, a collection of guns, ammunition, knives and knuckle dusters from a “safe house” both med rented in St Kilda in July 2022.

Police also found 2kg of methamphetamine with a street value of $210,000, 1kg of cocaine worth $200,000 and 1kg of heroin estimated at $90,000, as well as more than $87,000 in cash.

A cache of high-grade weapons including a grenade launcher were recovered during a raid at a “safe house” in St Kilda Rd.

Waheed and Andrews pleaded guilty to trafficking in a commercial quantity of methylamphetamine and heroin, trafficking in testosterone and other drugs, dealing with the proceeds of crime and possession of a shotgun and a pipe bomb.

Andrews also admitted to charges of trafficking and possession of meth, and possession of 1,4 butanediol and heroin while Waheed is facing an additional charge of possession of meth.

Waheed used various nicknames such as “Super Fly, Supe O Fly and Ginger Cakes” in encrypted text messages between him and others connected to the crimes.

He was the head of the drug syndicate while Andrews received orders and did the packaging.

In November 2023, the County Court declined Waheed bail despite his mother offering a surety for $20,000 and providing her home as the bail address.

Lara Domajnko was sentenced to a good behaviour bond after she was found guilty of dealing with proceeds of crime.

Waheed’s then “on again, off again” girlfriend Lara Domajnko was also arrested in the raid and was caught with meth and 1,4 butanediol, cash and designer handbags.

She claimed $7500 stashed in a hidden book was her daughter’s “savings”.

Domajnko was sentenced in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in April to a good behaviour bond after she was found guilty of dealing with the proceeds of crime.
