A large-scale covert drug laboratory in the Shepparton area and a suitcase with nearly $1M cash alongside half a kilogram of cocaine located in a Bayside suburb are just two highlights in Victoria during a national week of action targeting illicit drug and organised crime activities.
On September 4, detectives from the Clandestine Laboratory Squad and Shepparton Police executed a search warrant on a Waugh Road address in Toolamba. A sophisticated drug lab was found, along with various chemicals and equipment. Including about 500kg of precursor chemicals and large quantities of methylamphetamine and MDMA. A 30-year-old Deer Park man was arrested and charged with a range of drug offences.
