Four people have been arrested and more than $365,000 worth of what is alleged to be meth has been seized in police raids.
Four people have been arrested after police allegedly uncovered a stash of drugs worth more than $365,000 in police raids in Melbourne’s southeast.
Two men and two women were arrested after raids at properties in Clayton South on Friday morning, Victoria Police said.
Up to 400 grams of what is alleged to be methylamphetamine with an estimated street value of $365,000 was seized in the raids.
“These arrests should serve as a sobering reminder to potential drug dealers that police will not sit idle when it comes to drug crime,” Detective Acting Sergeant Andrew Howell said.
He said teams of detectives are dedicated to bringing down drug dealers and putting them before the courts.
Police also allegedly found approximately 500mL of what is alleged to be 1,4 Butanediol and small quantities of cannabis, steroids and prescription drugs.
Authorities also seized $10,000 in cash found at the properties.
Two 33-year-0ld men – one from Clayton South and one from Oakleigh South – have been charged with trafficking a commercial quantity of methylamphetamine and 1,4 Butanediol, drug possession and dealing with the proceeds of crime.
They will face court in September this year.
Two 28-year-old women from Clayton South were also arrested in the raids and are expected to be charged on summons with possessing a drug of dependence and proceeds of crime.
