Police from Capalaba’s Tactical Crime Squad have charged six people with trafficking in dangerous drugs following the closure of Operation Papa Galosh which commenced in February 2017.
The operation targeted the supply and distribution of methyl amphetamine on several southern bay islands including Russell, Macleay and Lamb Islands.
Police executed 32 search warrants on addresses throughout Brisbane bayside during the operation, with methylamphetamine, cannabis, drug paraphernalia and assorted stolen property located.
As a result of these raids, three men, aged 24, 32, 38 and three women, aged 29, 30, 36 from the southern bay islands were charged with trafficking, and other serious drug offences.
Those charged are due to appear in the Cleveland Magistrates Court in the coming months.
To date 108 people have been charged on a total of 471 related offences, including six for trafficking and 200 counts of supplying dangerous drugs.
