“It goes without saying that drugs cause so much harm in our community – not only to those who become addicted, but to the families of those people who get hooked, and the people who then become victims of the crimes they commit to feed their habit,” Heald said.
Other assets seized include two Ferrari convertible sports cars, five motorcycles, including a Harley Davidson, two Victory motorbikes and a quad bike and residential property.
“It’s remarkable to think of the harm the offenders impose on our communities and the luxuries they are then affording themselves in the process,” Heald said.
A Mongrel Mob member and four associates have been charged with multiple offences and police said further arrests were likely.
