Three people have been charged with multiple drug offences after police seized 15 kilograms of drug-laced lollipops in raids in the NSW Hunter region.
NSW Police say two men and a woman were part of a criminal syndicate supplying illegal drugs on the dark web, which made more than $1.6 million in cryptocurrency.
Police say the trio distributed drugs, including E-cigarettes containing synthetic cannabinoids, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and officers discovered more than 100 litres of THC-based chemicals during searches.
Police raided two properties at Swansea and a storage facility at Caves Beach on Tuesday.
Police allege they found a large amount of lollipops, suspected to be laced with a prohibited drug, 100 litres of THC-based chemicals, as well as electronic devices, which were seized for forensic examination.
A 47-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman were arrested on Tuesday at Lakeside Drive and taken to Belmont Police Station.
Police arrested another man, 30, at a home on George Street and he was taken to Toronto Police Station.
Cybercrime Squad Commander Detective Acting Superintendent Gordon Arbinja said the arrests “should serve as a warning to those using the internet to conceal criminal activity”.
