Seven firearms, more than $4.5 million worth of drugs and $150,000 in cash have been seized by police during an 11-day operation targeting organised criminal networks.
Police attended multiple properties over the two-week period, including a home near Grafton, at which they found “significant quantities of precursor chemicals and equipment consistent with the manufacture of prohibited drugs” and about a kilogram of cannabis.
Police also found two hydroponic cannabis grow labs and about 2.5kg of dried and packaged cannabis at a home in Carrara, where a 55-year-old was charged with a number of drug-related offences. A 27-year-old was also arrested and charged with multiple firearm offences at a separate property in Tweed Heads South, where police found and seized a loaded rifle and ammunition from the kitchen.
