Illegal drugs were reportedly being sold and distributed throughout Sydney by a detainee who was being held at the Villawood detention centre.

Two individuals have found themselves in legal trouble after being accused of running a drug operation from an immigration detention centre. The New South Wales Police took action on July 11, arresting a 49-year-old man at Sydney's Villawood detention centre after receiving a search warrant. According to reports, officers discovered evidence linking the man to a syndicate, including two kilograms of methylamphetamine and $169,000 in cash. In addition, three mobile phones were also discovered during the search.

The 49-year-old was promptly taken to Bankstown Police Station where he faced several charges, including two counts of supplying a significant amount of prohibited drugs, supplying a large commercial quantity of prohibited drugs, and directing a criminal group. Bail was denied for the accused, as police believe he was utilizing encrypted messaging services to conduct large-scale drug deals in the Sydney area. It's believed that the man had developed a network of runners outside of the detention centre who were responsible for carrying out the drug deals as directed by him.

In a separate incident, strict force detectives, along with the Public Order and Riot Squad, executed a search warrant at a residence in Liverpool. There, they found 750 grams of methylamphetamine and 90 grams of heroin hidden in a toilet bowl in an attempt to dispose of the evidence. An additional 90 grams of heroin were discovered on the bathroom floor. Police also seized $325,000 in cash and a Dedicated Encrypted Criminal Communication Device during the search. A 24-year-old individual was arrested and charged with multiple offences.

Police have stated that the younger man was a runner for the 49-year-old who was detained at the immigration centre. As the investigation continues, authorities urge the public to follow the Olympic Games Paris 2024, which will be broadcasted live and free on Channel 9 and 9Now.
