Queensland Police have successfully dismantled a drug syndicate in Gladstone, arresting 25 individuals and seizing over $3 million in illegal drugs. The operation, named Operation Promontory, concluded on February 19 after a nine-month investigative effort involving the Gladstone Criminal Investigation Branch and the State Drug Squad. The crackdown targeted a longstanding drug supply network and resulted in the confiscation of 7.5 kilograms of methylamphetamine, 300 grams of cocaine, and 360 pounds of cannabis, among other substances. Additionally, authorities seized over $1 million in cash, multiple vehicles, and other assets linked to criminal activities. The operation led to the establishment of crime scenes at two residential properties in Toolooa and Glen Eden, and an extensive search of nearby bushland. Detective Senior Sergeant Brett Richard, officer in charge of the Gladstone CIB, stated, “Operation Promontory has successfully dismantled a deeply entrenched drug syndicate, significantly disrupting the supply of illicit drugs in the region.” He emphasized the police’s commitment to eradicating illegal drugs from the community and continuing efforts to hold offenders accountable. The police encourage anyone with information related to drug activities or other suspicions to contact Policelink or report anonymously via Crime Stoppers. The investigation into the syndicate and its operations remains ongoing. Post navigation Tragic Highway Collision in Bajool
