Interstate drug syndicate bust sees cannabis, guns and millions in cash seized across Brisbane
Queensland Police have arrested and charged more than a dozen people alleged to be involved in an interstate drug syndicate, after detectives intercepted a plane outside Brisbane.
The light aircraft left Melbourne and landed at Redcliffe Airport, outside Brisbane, around 2:00pm on Monday.
North Brisbane Criminal Investigation Branch Detective Senior Sergeant Ken Rogers said two people were inside the plane and were met on the tarmac by a third person, who had arrived in a 4WD.
“The three men then stood on the tarmac and conducted what appeared to be a drug transaction,” he said.
“It was at that time that specialist units swooped, moved in, apprehended and took all three men into police custody.”
