Australian Federal Police detectives working on Operation IRONSIDE EAST-GALVESTON have charged a 32-year-old Hurstville woman with money laundering and drug trafficking offences.
As part of the IRONSIDE resolution earlier this month, a 40-year-old Mount Keira man - believed to be the Comanchero OMCG Sergeant-at-Arms on the NSW South Coast - and his alleged associate, a 31-year-old Horsley man, were both arrested at their homes and charged with multiple serious offences.
The investigation into this criminal network has now revealed the alleged involvement of a 32-year-old Hurstville woman who allegedly received $50,000 in cash on behalf of the syndicate.
Detectives from the National Anti-Gangs Squad executed a search warrant at the woman's home on Friday, 11 June 2021 where they seized:
- Approximately 1.9 kilograms of a white powdery substance suspected to be methamphetamine
- A cash counter and scales
- Approximately $50,000 in cash
- Mobile phones; and
- Drug paraphernalia.
The woman was subsequently arrested and charged with:
- Trafficking commercial quantities of a controlled drug, namely methamphetamine, contrary to section 302.2(1) of the Criminal Code (Cth); and
- Dealing in proceeds of crime, money or property worth $50,000 or more, contrary to section 400.5(2) of the Criminal Code (Cth).
She is next due in Central Local Court on 4 August 2021.
