Murgon detectives have charged a 35-year-old woman with more than 60 offences following an ongoing drug operation in the South Burnett over the last seven months.
Launched in December 2023, Operation Whiskey Blurr targeted drug syndicates involved in the trafficking of methylamphetamine, cannabis and other dangerous drugs in the region.
Following extensive investigations, police executed a search warrant at a Barber Street property in Cherbourg today, July 24, resulting in the arrest of a 35-year-old woman.
Police will allege the woman supplied small quantities of methylamphetamines and cannabis to 22 people between July 2023 and July 2024.
Police will further allege the woman received $120,395 [via 2,161 bank deposits] from numerous people during her alleged drug trafficking activities.
A 35-year-old Cherbourg woman has been charged with 66 offences, including 63 counts of supplying dangerous drugs, and one count each of trafficking dangerous drugs, receiving or possessing property obtained from trafficking or supplying, and possessing property used in the commission of drug offences.
She was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Kingaroy Magistrates Court tomorrow, July 25.
Detective Acting Inspector Jason Kitto said the Operation has made a significant impact over the past seven months.
"Operation Whiskey Blurr has seen detectives infiltrate strong drug distribution channels across the South Burnett area, and remove harmful drugs from our streets," Detective Acting Inspector Kitto said.
"These substances destroy lives, and their removal has a positive effect not only on innocent and vulnerable members of the public, but also on our health system due to a reduction in drug-induced violence, overdoses and other long-term consequences."
"Illicit drugs have no place in our community, and we will continue to do all we can to target these criminal syndicates and keep the community safe."
