LARGE SCALE DRUG OPERATION RESULTS IN 175 CHARGES
Sixteen people have been charged with a total of 175 offences, as a result of a large scale police operation targeting the supply of illicit drugs around Coffs Harbour.
Since November, officers from Strike Force Cyril have searched 13 properties, where they uncovered hundreds of cannabis plants, more than 20 kilograms of cannabis leaf and three hydroponic set ups.
Around half a kilogram of methylamphetamine, cocaine, MDMA and 11 firearms were also seized.
Police have now laid charges against 10 people, including a 34-year-old man who was charged with 74 offences, including 54 counts of supplying a prohibited drug.
Five others were issued Court Attendance Notices, while a 47-year-old man is expected to be charged in coming days.
