Detectives from the Financial and Cyber Crime Group (FCCG) have charged a 44-year-old man with drug offences following ongoing investigations as part of Operation Xray Toren.
On May 16, police including officers from the Dog Squad, Public Safety Response Team (PSRT) executed search warrants at a Nudgee and Redcliffe addresses, and seized dangerous drugs, drug utensils, electronic items, and even a concrete mixer used to manufacture drugs.
A 44-year-old Nudgee man was taken into custody at the Redcliffe property and charged with dealing with identification information, producing dangerous drugs, possessing dangerous drugs, trafficking in dangerous drugs, possessing relevant substances or things, and possessing things used in connection with the commission of a crime.
He was remanded in custody and is due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on June 10.
Police will allege since February 2024, the man was producing and selling dangerous drugs, including Alprazolam and methylamphetamine, across Queensland.
Detective Chief Inspector Vince Byrnes from the Financial and Cyber Crime group said police were glad to have prevented more dangerous drugs from entering and harming the community.
"Removing drugs from Queensland's streets and targeting and dismantling drug production, trafficking syndicates and individuals involved in the distribution of illicit drugs remains an ongoing priority for police to keep our community safe," Detective Chief Inspector Byrnes said.
"Anyone with information about the sale or production of illicit drugs, or anyone who notices suspicious behaviour should contact police or report it to Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000."
