Detectives have charged four men allegedly involved in a drug supply syndicate on Sydney’s North Shore.
In January 2020, Strike Force Tongaboo was established to investigate the supply of heroin in the area.
At 6:50am yesterday (Wednesday 18 March), officers from North Shore Police Area Command and South West Metropolitan Region executed search warrants at three units on Barton Road, Artarmon, and another on Helen Street, Lane Cove.
About the same time, they arrested a 58-year-old man, who was walking along Hampton Road, Artarmon.
He was taken to Chatswood Police Station, where he was charged with four counts of supply prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis and deal with property proceeds of crime.
The man was refused bail and is due to appear in Hornsby Local Court today (Thursday 19 March 2020).
During the search of a unit on Barton Road, Artarmon, detectives arrested a 63-year-old man, before taking him to Chatswood Police Station, where he was charged with drug supply.
He was granted conditional bail and is due to appear in Hornsby Local Court on Wednesday 8 April 2020.
A 56-year-old man was also arrested, during the search on Helen Street, Lane Cove, and taken to Chatswood Police Station, where he was charged with supply prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis.
He was refused bail and is due to appear at Hornsby Local Court today (Thursday 19 March 2020).
The total number of people charged under Strike Force Tongaboo now stands at four, after a 50-year-old man was found in possession of heroin in Burwood earlier this month (Sunday 8 March 2020).
He was charged with supply prohibited drug and was refused bail, to appear in Burwood Local Court on Wednesday 1 April 2020.
