Video has shown the moment police smashed their way into a Frankston home as part of a drug trafficking investigation.
Methylamphetamine, ecstasy, GHB and a gun were seized in a series of raids over drug trafficking in the Frankston area.
A Carrum man, 33, and a Frankston woman, 34, were arrested as police made their move on Wednesday morning.
They arrived early and battered open the door of a Rosella St, Frankston, property.
Investigators allegedly found methylamphetamine, LSD tablets, ecstasy and gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), along with cash and fireworks.
More meth and weapons, including a flick knife, were found in a car at the property.
Warrants were simultaneously carried out at a property at Carrum and a factory in Mordialloc.
A gun ammunition and electronic devices were confiscated at the factory, in Japaddy St.
More fireworks, a laser pointer, electronic devices and banned injectable melatonin were seized at a home on Nepean Highway, Carrum.
The investigation was run by the Frankston and Mornington divisional response unit with help from an Australian Border Force canine unit.
The Frankston woman was charged with nine offences including trafficking methylamphetamine, knowingly dealing in the proceeds of crime and counts of drug possession.
The man faces charges of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, possessing a schedule four poison and knowingly dealing in the proceeds of crime.
Senior Sgt Stephen Reidy of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula divisional response unit said: Any time we’re able to remove firearms and dangerous drugs from our streets, it decreases the chances of a drug-fuelled crime from taking place, or likelihood of an innocent member of the community getting hurt by a firearm in the wrong hands.”
