South Australian police have raided a suburban street in Adelaide's north, uncovering a safehouse belonging to a major tobacco syndicate.
The raid, conducted as part of Operation Eclipse, resulted in the seizure of over $1 million of illegal tobacco products, vapes and cash. The discovery of the safehouse comes amid the turf war that has plagued Adelaide, with 19 arson attacks reported so far.The raid, conducted as part of Operation Eclipse, resulted in the seizure of over $1 million of illegal tobacco products, vapes and cash. "It's fairly evident with the number of shops that are operating, there will be other locations given the market that exists," Detective Chief Inspector Brett Featherby said.
Detectives won't say how many more safehouses they already know about but are confident they're closing in on those running the syndicates, and have identified who the kingpins are. Residents have been urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, such as the sudden appearance of light trucks or other vehicles that may have been used to transport tobacco across state lines.
