Police find large stash of drugs and money during bust
A recent drug bust carried out by interstate police has revealed a shocking amount of illegal substances and cash. Working together, the NSW and Queensland Police focused on disrupting the supply of banned drugs across state lines and uncovered a suspected criminal network involved in trafficking narcotics.

According to the authorities involved in Strike Force Oshawa, a delivery headed for the Gold Coast was intercepted on October 10th, revealing a staggering 25kg of cocaine and 5kg of MDMA. The estimated street value of these drugs was a staggering $9.2 million, a significant amount that could have caused immense harm to the community.

Following this seizure, police conducted raids on multiple properties in Caringbah, NSW and Rocklea, Queensland on the same day. These operations resulted in the discovery of $3 million in cash, a Glock pistol, 1kg of MDMA, luxury watches, and small quantities of other illegal substances. Three arrests were made, with two men aged 26 and 53 being apprehended on General Homes Drive in Brighton Le Sands after being pulled over by authorities. The third man, also 26 years old, was taken into custody at a residence in Rocklea.

The 53-year-old suspect is facing charges for two counts of supplying illegal drugs in commercial quantities, dealing with proceeds of crime over $5000, and participating in a criminal group. The 26-year-old is facing four charges, including four counts of supplying illegal drugs. Both were denied bail and appeared before Sutherland Local Court on October 11th. The third suspect, also 26 years old, is facing four charges, including dealing with proceeds of crime exceeding $1 million and possession of an unlawful weapon. He was also denied bail and appeared before Brisbane Magistrates Court on the same day.

As investigations into Strike Force Oshawa continue, it is clear that the authorities are taking strong action against the illegal drug trade. This bust serves as a reminder of the immense harm that these substances can cause and the determination of law enforcement to put a stop to it.
