Investigators from the Gold Coast Major and Organised Crime Squad yesterday seized a significant amount of cash during a vehicle intercept.
At approximately 1pm detectives intercepted a vehicle driving on Ferry Road at Southport. A subsequent search of the vehicle located a significant amount of cash concealed inside a plastic shopping bag.
A 40-year-old Jimboomba man was charged with possession of tainted property. He is due to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on April 18, 2019.
“We have experienced detectives from State Crime Command working in partnership with district police and adopting an intelligence-led approach to proactively patrol the Gold Coast.
“Disrupting organised crime by focusing on the proceeds of crime, remains a key strategy for the Major and Organised Crime Squad. Our success with this arrest is a testament to the ongoing dedication of detectives working tirelessly to make our community safer,” said Detective Inspector Glen Donaldson of the Major and Organised Crime Squad.
