Officer in Charge of the Darling Downs District Tactical Crime Squad, Senior Sergeant Matt Howard said all officers are working extremely hard to disrupt drug use.

“The use of illicit substances has a detrimental, flow-on effect to the general community,” Senior Sergeant Howard said.

“Our local community has provided us with the information we need to tackle this network and get these drugs off the street.
