THREE people have been arrested after an investigation into alleged drug trafficking and cultivation across the bayside suburbs of Melbourne.
Two men and a woman were arrested on 13 March after police seized drugs and cash. The three were arrested at a property in Burraneer Drive, Keysborough.
Police allege that they found three kilograms of dried cannabis, ecstasy tablets, and powder believed to be heroin at the property. They also seized $263,000 in cash, a luxury watch, handbags, belts, and bracelets.
Police say they have linked equipment found at the Keysborough property to the discovery of 86 cannabis plants at an Edithvale property the day prior.
A man and woman, both 28, were charged with offences including drug trafficking and possession. The third person arrested was released pending further enquiries. The two alleged offenders will front the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in December.
Investigators from the Southern Bayside Frontline Tactical Unit, Caulfield Divisional Response Unit, and Chelsea Police Station carried out the operation.
