Police charged 20 alleged offenders and impounded five vehicles as part of Operation Buchan, in Epping last week.
Community concern about a recent rise in anti-social behaviour, drug use, impaired driving and theft offences around Cooper Street led to the operation.
Cooper Street in Epping is a key arterial route that experiences significant vehicle and pedestrian traffic across day and night.
Epping Police, along with officers from Mill Park Divisional Response Unit, State Highway Patrol and Airwing, undertook the operation on Thursday 21 and Friday 22 November.
Over two nights, 20 alleged offenders were charged with offences including possess drugs, unlicensed driving, possess weapons and theft.
Five vehicles were impounded as a result of licence and drug-driving offences.
A series of drivers found in possession of cannabis led to police executing a search warrant at a nearby Cooper Street address on Saturday 23 November.
Officers allegedly located a traffickable amount of cannabis and other prescription medication.
A 53-year-old Epping woman was charged with traffick cannabis.
She was bailed to appear before Heidelberg Magistrates' Court on 3 March 2025.
