South West District detectives have closed a drug trafficking network in the South Burnett following an eight-month operation targeting ice in the community.

Yesterday (November 24) detectives executed a search warrant in Kingaroy and arrested a man and a woman involved in the alleged trafficking operation. A third person remains outstanding.
It is alleged the three were involved in trafficking quantities of ice from Brisbane and supplying it within South Burnett communities over the past eight-months.

A 30-year-old Kingaroy man was charged with one count of trafficking in dangerous drugs, 209 counts of supplying a dangerous drug, one count of possessing anything used in a commission of a crime and one count of receiving property from trafficking.
He will appear in the Murgon Magistrates Court on November 25.
