Seventeen people have been arrested in two five-month drug operations targeting south-west Queensland.

 

Police said the parallel operations were brought to a close with raids on properties in Roma, Surat, Charleville and other nearby locations.

 

More than $27,500 in cash, a motor vehicle, a ride-on mower and expensive entertainment systems were seized, which are thought to be the proceeds of crime.

 

Drug paraphernalia was also found.

 

The raids come after the seizure of about 30 grams of methylamphetamine and 420 grams of cannabis, found by police in earlier raids as part of both operations.

 

The drugs have an estimated value of approximately $18,000.

 

State Drug Investigation Unit Detective Inspector Marty Mickelson said people involved in the commercial supply and trafficking of amphetamines, cannabis and other drugs in the Roma and Charleville areas had been the focus of investigations.

 

"Today's operation has netted a number of local individuals who we believe are key players in the supply and distribution of drugs, particularly methylamphetamine and cannabis in the south-west area of the State," Insp Mickelson said.

 

"We will allege that they have been able to source drugs quite readily for on-selling within the local communities."

 

He said tip-offs had come from the public.

 

"These criminals need to understand that we are constantly monitoring and targeting their activities with the assistance of the local police and that we will also aggressively pursue the proceeds of their crimes by seizing money, property and other assets," he said.

 

Southern Regional Crime Coordinator Detective Inspector Noel Ragh said the operations had put a significant dent in the supply of drugs to the area for some time.

 

Those arrested appeared in Roma Magistrates Court or are due to appear in court on February 19.

It took how many pigs? in TWO, FIVE month operations! to find 30 grams of whiz and an elbow of pot??

Fuck sake, what the hell is wrong with this planet?

Does that mean..

 

After 5 months of public 'tip offs', police found an oz of speed and a pound in earlier 'raids'.

 

Then in a final raid, stole only personal property, because no drugs were mentioned found.

Thats fucked, the cops are going "Well guys, after 5 months we still couldn't find a big stash, and we're pissed off...what now?" "I know, lets take their lawnmower." Low.

that sure does sound like what cops in their situation would do after all they need to prove that their investigation wasnt a complete waste of time and tax payer money

I don't think it was just the lawn mower and stereo the pricks theived either.

420 grams of pot sounds supiscously to me like a big handful of someone's pound never arrived in evidence at court.
