Three people have been arrested and large amounts of drugs and cash seized during a police raid of a Springvale South home on Thursday 7 November.
During the operation in Sunrise Court about 9.15am, police allegedly seized almost 1 kilogram of ketamine, commercial quantities of methylamphetamine, heroin and ecstasy and almost three lires of 1,4-butanediol.
They also discovered almost $100,000 cash and luxury watches, police say.
Greater Dandenong Neighbourhood Policing Team – assisted by Springvale Divisional Response Unit – allege the trio were making illicit drugs in the home’s bedrooms prior to distribution.
A 32-year-old man was arrested while allegedly near a bum bag containing a loaded 9-millimetre semi-automatic gun as well as ammunition, drugs and cash.
A 28-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man were also arrested.
Police also allegedly seized cocaine, cannabis, firearm parts, several rounds of ammunition of various calibres and an imitation handgun.
Knuckle dusters, precursor chemicals used to make illicit drugs, several phones and electronic devices, and pills were also allegedly seized.
The woman and youngest man were charged with trafficking a large commercial quantity of ketamine, commercial quantities of meth, heroin, ecstasy and 1,4-butanediol as well as trafficking cocaine, possessing precursor chemicals and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime.
The man was also charged with possessing a handgun and ammunition. He appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday 8 November and further remanded.
The woman appeared at court on Monday 11 November and was granted bail.
Both are scheduled to reappear at court on 14 February.
The 59-year-old was released pending summons.
