A man wanted on a NSW warrant has been arrested at a state border checkpoint this morning.
Investigators from the Crime and Intelligence Command arrested the 33-year-old NSW man after he was located concealed in a vehicle being transported on a truck travelling to Queensland early this morning.
Acting on information received, investigators assisting NSW Police Force's Strike Force Jillabenan II stopped a truck transporting a shipping container on the Gold Coast Highway, Bilinga.
Officers searched the container on the back of the truck where they located the man hiding inside a grey Mercedes. During a search of the container police located a large amount of cash, a number of mobile phones and personal property.
He was arrested and transported to the Southport Watch House where he is expected to be extradited by NSW Police Force. In addition to his arrest, the 33-year-old man will receive a fine for failing to comply with COVID-19 border direction.
The 46-year-old driver of the truck was given two traffic infringement notices relating to heavy vehicle offences, as well as a fine for failing to comply with COVID-19 border direction.
