 From the Drug and Serious Crime Group, State Crime Command. Is that alright? It's easy testing me. Is that alright? Yes. Yesterday, detectives from the State Crime Command, Brisbane Region, North Coast Region, executed a number of search warrants in the Brisbane and Sunshine Coast area with the assistance from members from the Special Emergency Response Team and Dog Squad. As a result of these warrants being executed, approximately $433,000 in cash was located. 3.4 kilograms of powder, which we will be ledging as heroin, was also located with 349 ecstasy tablets and a quantity of jewellery, three motor vehicles and a street bike were also seized. A total of nine persons were charged on 14 charges. Three of those persons were kept in custody overnight and appearing before the court this morning. It's fairly considerate considering the amount of heroin which we have located. Heroin has not been vastly available in recent years and to have a seizure of 3.4 kilograms is a fairly unique seizure. We're in the early throes of the investigation. We're still trying to follow the leads as to where the origin of the heroin came from. As I said, we're in the early stages of the investigation. One of the male persons at the Oxley address resides in the Clounder area. Yes, at an address at Oxley, we located $44,000 in a bedroom of the house and a further sum of approximately $280,000 was located by a counterfeit sniffing dog and his handler buried in the yard of the residence. It was buried under an ornamental plant. It was excellent work for the police there to locate that. The money was contained in two cry-backed bags. As I said, this investigation is in its infancy. We are considering further charges to place upon some of these offenders. The next people living a high life of this size is clear that they have something to do so they're charged with doing that. We will be alleging that the cash, the fairly modern motor vehicles, the extravagant jewellery are all proceeds of crime. And how many addresses did you write? We attended five addresses. One at Oxley, one at Callumvale, Sunnybank Hills, Fernie Grove and Clounder. Were they residential addresses? Four of the premises were residential. One was a business address. We won't comment on the type of business. One couple are in a de facto relationship. Any vital links? There's no CMG links to this organisation at this stage that we can identify. Will you be alleging that the drugs were destined for? I believe that they were destined for the local market. Look, a quantity of amphetamines were located there and a large sum of cash was also located there. I haven't got the exact amount but I can get that for you. I believe that this seizure will have an impact on supply. As I said, amphetamine-type substances have been the drug of choice of powder in recent times. And as I said, this is a fairly significant seizure to take that much heroin off the streets of Brisbane. And the majority of cash... This investigation is in its infancy and we hope to explore the finer points of this group that have been dealing in powders. Sorry? Will there be other flow-on effects for the community? What are the effects of other people having drugs? Look, heroin is a very addictive drug. A very dangerous drug to take. I think that while removing this drug from the street it will have a significant impact on community. Tell us why would drugs have a significant impact on community? It's an expensive drug and the availability... I believe the availability depends on interstate and international imports. Three kilos of heroin was the sort of street value for us. We believe the street value is $1.4 million. What message does it send to other drug dealers out there? The message is simple. We receive a variety of information from a number of sources. We act on that information and it's only a matter of time before we're knocking on their door. Is that how this group would discover through tip-offs? As I said, we receive a number of intelligence reports, information from the public which we rely on greatly and we act upon that information that we do receive. Do you expect more arrests to take place after these raids? That will depend on our further investigations. We receive recent information and we've acted upon that and as a result that information was correct and that's why they're before the courts. The majority of items seized are at the unbooked address. Is that a petition? It's a substantial amount of cash. The heroin was located at Oxley address with two motor vehicles and a motorbike also at the address and jewellery. From what we've located so far, they appeared very well organised and it would appear that they've made a lucrative living from what we have seized. Australian citizens or nationality? Well, I believe they're all Australian citizens. So you said there's some type of post-adjustment like the amphetamines that were found. Do you have an interest in some of the heroin as well? Just under seven grams of heroin was located at the address at Caloundron with the amphetamines, with other amphetamines. I would expect that that drug would have made its way on the central and coastal streets. What are the offenses that they've been charged with just generally? Produce and... Produce and possess dangerous drugs, heroin exceedingly scheduled. All nine people? No, sorry, three people. Sorry, four people have been in charge of that and others have been charged with possession of dangerous drugs. So are you going to be alleging that some have had drug labs at these addresses? Sorry? Are you alleging that they're producing these drugs We won't be alleging that they're producing the drugs at the premises but our early investigations would suggest that they're in the cutting process at the premises with the heroin that had been obtained.
