Drug bust claims 100-plus arrests
May 7, 2004
MORE than 100 people, including members of a motorcycle gang,
have been charged with drug offences following a widespread
operation, Queensland police said today.
Two men, aged 45 and 57, were charged with trafficking and
producing amphetamines over a five-year period.
The arrests were made during the Queensland Police and Australian
Crime Commission's (ACC) Operation Alpha Mayflower.
Police said a number of bikies from Rockhampton in central
Queensland were charged with drug trafficking offences, while
their associates on the Sunshine Coast were charged with
distributing ecstasy and cannabis.
"Working in cooperation with the ACC, we have charged more
than 100 people with over 250 charges," said
Rockhampton-based regional crime squad coordinator Dale
Weightman.
