There are less drugs on the streets in Logan tonight after a $13 million sting by Queensland police last week.
Approximately $13 million of drugs have been seized and 442 people charged on 981 offences across Queensland during Operation Vitreus week of action on drugs.
Operation Vitreus is a national multi-jurisdiction co-ordinated operation, under the Serious Organised Crime Consultative Committee, focused on disrupting and dismantling dangerous drug activity.
Queensland Police Service executed 94 search warrants across the state, resulting in the seizure of:
- 1.2 kilograms of Methylamphetamine
- 2320 cannabis plants
- 11.5 kilograms of cannabis
- 700 grams of MDMA
- 6 grams of heroin
- 77 grams of cocaine
- $134,380 cash
State Drug Squad Detective Inspector Bradley Phelps said this was a significant quantity of dangerous drugs now off the streets of Queensland.
“These criminal syndicate producing drugs make money off the vulnerable to benefit themselves and fund serious and violent crimes that risk the safety of innocent members of the public,” Detective Inspector Phelps said.
“Organised crime is insidious and knows no borders, while this action has cost alleged offenders $13 million, police will not stop there.
“Members of the public are our eyes and ears, and we appeal to anyone who has any information which could assist investigations, no matter how small, to come forward.”
