Police have charged two people with multiple drug related offences as part of Operation Uniform Truro in the Mount Isa area.
On November 5, Cloncurry police conducted a random intercept of a vehicle, resulting in two people being arrested.
A 33-year-old Mount Isa woman has been charged with 18 offences including one count each of drug trafficking (methylamphetamine), dealing in proceeds of crime worth $100,000 or more as well as six counts of drug supply (methylamphetamine).
A 29-year-old Townsville man was charged with 39 offences including one count each of drug trafficking (methylamphetamine) and dealing in proceeds of crime worth $50,000 or more as well as nine counts of drug supply (methylamphetamine and cannabis).
Both have been remanded in custody and will reappear at Mount Isa Magistrates Court on December 19.
Operation Uniform Truro was established in May 2022 to deconstruct drug syndicates operating in the Mount Isa district.
"Drug suppliers and traffickers profit financially from the illicit poisons that both consume and stupefy our communities most vulnerable," said Officer in Charge of the Mount Isa District Tactical Crime Squad Sergeant Joel Bryant.
"If you participate in such illicit activities in the Mount Isa district, expect our undivided attention" he said.
Sergeant Bryant encourages anyone in our community who is suffering from drug dependence to seek support from Queensland Health's Alcohol and Drug Information Service or other support services or networks.
