Mackay detectives have charged 10 people with 30 drug and weapons related offences following the execution of search warrants in the Mackay District on October 3 and 4, Queensland Police say.

"If members of the Mackay and surrounding communities have information that can assist police in targeting drug offenders, then I encourage them to contact police".
