Police have seized more than $1 million in illicit drugs and arrested 28 people on 110 charges following the closure of a major operation targeting a sophisticated Sunshine Coast drug syndicate.
Operation Papa Argyle commenced in January 2017 following the identification of a high level organised crime syndicate on the Sunshine Coast controlling a number of major trafficking networks.
The closure of the protracted operation today resulted in a 28–year-old Sunshine Coast man, an alleged member of the crime group, charged with a number of drug trafficking offences.
The Sunshine Coast District Drug and Serious Crime Task Force closed the first phase of the operation on October 8, 2017 following the execution of a search warrant at an inner city Brisbane apartment which was alleged to have been the crime group’s “safe house”.
Police located a quantity of cocaine, a cocaine press, MDMA capsule press, methylamphetamine and a large sum of cash.
