November 11, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three people appeared in Murgon Magistrates Court on Wednesday charged with a total of 266 charges including trafficking and multiple counts of supplying dangerous drugs.<\/p>\n

Two Murgon men were remanded in custody while a Nanango woman was released on bail.<\/p>\n

The court appearances follow an\u00a0eight-month police operation targeting alleged ice dealers in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

Murgon detectives launched Operation Volta in March.<\/p>\n

Detectives executed search warrants in Murgon and Kingaroy this week resulting in five people being arrested.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police will allege three of the people charged were involved in trafficking a large quantity of ice from Brisbane and Gympie and supplying it within the South Burnett over the past 16 months.<\/p>\n

Detectives allegedly seized a quantity of ice, drug paraphernalia and cash during the operation.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • A 42-year-old Murgon man has been charged with one count of drug trafficking, 76 counts of supply, two counts of possessing something used in a commission of a crime and one count of receiving property from trafficking.\u00a0He was remanded in custody to reappear on January 25.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • A 47-year-old Murgon man was charged with one count of drug trafficking, 68 counts of supply and one count of possessing something used in a commission of a crime and contravening an order about device information.\u00a0 He was remanded in custody to reappear on February 2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • A 47-year-old Nanango woman was charged with one count of drug trafficking, 112 counts of supply, one count of possessing items used in commission of a crime and receiving property from trafficking.\u00a0 She was bailed to reappear on February 2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Detective Inspector Mat Kelly said the closure of the operation signalled a significant disruption to the ice trade in the South Burnett.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \u201cWe know ice addiction destroys lives and when it infiltrates local communities such as ours, it can have a devastating impact,\u201d Det Insp Kelly said.<\/p>\n

        \u201cBy targeting who we allege are key players in local drug trafficking, we are significantly disrupting the supply chain and preventing large quantities of ice from reaching our community.<\/p>\n

        \u201cI\u2019d like to acknowledge the dedicated team at Murgon CIB for their commitment and achieving great results on this operation.<\/p>\n

        \u201cWe would also like to thank the community for the assistance and continue to encourage anyone with information about drug supply activity to report it to police.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
