Police have charged two men with serious drug offences as part of ‘Operation Albatross’; a six-month effort targeting criminal activity on the northern Gold Coast.
Around 5.45am yesterday (Tuesday November 12), detectives from the Gold Coast Criminal Investigation Branch (Western Investigative Group) executed a search warrant at a home on Latrobe Avenue, Helensvale.
It will be alleged that officers located approximately 100 grams of methylamphetamine, in excess of 750 MDMA tablets, cannabis and ammunition. Detectives also allegedly located chemicals associated with the production of methylamphetamine in clandestine laboratories.
A 41-year-old Upper Coomera man was charged with three counts of possessing dangerous drugs, one count each of possessing a prohibited combination of items (pseudoephedrine, hypo-phosphorus acid and iodine), possessing anything for use in the commission of a crime, possessing property suspected of being the proceeds of a drug offence, possessing restricted items (laser pointer), possessing explosives (ammunition) and five counts of breach of bail.
