Dramatic footage has captured the moment police smashed an alleged cocaine trafficking network in the heart of Brisbane.
More than 200 charges have been laid against 37 people following a six-month investigation into what police will allege was a sophisticated cocaine distribution network in Fortitude Valley.
The investigation, dubbed Operation Sierra Gypsy, culminated in 25 raids being executed in the Fortitude Valley and Brisbane City areas on Friday.
Police footage depicts officers storming one of the units as a man is placed in handcuffs.
A bag of pills and what appears to be a white powder substance is displayed to the officer’s body-worn camera.
Large wads of cash and multiple clip seal bags containing a white powder were seized from the unit.
All up, police seized more than $272,000 worth of substances alleged to be drugs and cash during the search warrants.
Five men aged between 25 and 28 years were charged with drug trafficking and a number of other drug related offences.
They briefly appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Saturday.
Detective Inspector Glen Farmer from the City Valley Crime Group said the operation had successfully dismantled the supply network in the Fortitude Valley area.
“The seizure of these harmful drugs, along with the arrest of these men, has led to the operation being a success and the community being a safer place,” Detective Inspector Farmer said.
