Murgon detectives have seized almost $1 million worth of drugs as part of a three-month operation in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

A police spokesperson said “<\/em>Operation Victor Duty” had resulted in 41 people facing a total of 397 charges and $999,144 worth of ice and cannabis seized in various raids.<\/p>\n

Detectives partnered with local police in Nanango, Kingaroy, Yarraman, Murgon and Cherbourg.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said police had been able to identify an alleged drug syndicate operating in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

A 26-year-old Kingaroy woman was arrested on November 1.<\/p>\n

Police will allege she supplied ice to 32 people in exchange for $30,000 over five months.<\/p>\n

She has been charged with 105 counts of supplying dangerous drugs as well as one count each of trafficking and possessing property used in connection with trafficking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She was remanded in custody and is expected to re-appear at Kingaroy Magistrates Court on January 15.<\/p>\n

Detective Inspector Paula Smithard said the operation had been a success for the South Burnett region.<\/p>\n

\u201cOperation Victor Duty demonstrated the collaboration of the community and police to deter, detect and disrupt the supply chain for methamphetamine in the South Burnett,” Det Insp Smithard said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegional detectives worked with specialist police units and have put a significant dent in the drug trade in the South Burnett which has led to safer communities in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this specific operation has ended, our work does not. We continue to encourage the community to come forward with any information of suspicious or illegal activity within the region.”<\/p>\n
