The Sunshine Coast Tactical Crime Squad conducted three search warrants in Aroona on Thursday, July 13.

Sunshine Coast Criminal Investigation Branch officer-in-charge Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Mansfield said a 26-year-old Aroona man had been charged with drug trafficking.
He was granted police bail and was expected to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on August 4.
A 44-year-old Aroona man, a 26-year-old Aroona woman and another person will also face drug-related charges.
