Drug bust FOUR people have been arrested as part of a drug investigation which spanned Mentone, Elwood, and St Kilda. Police have been investigating an alleged major drug syndicate for the last four months. They executed six search warrants across the three south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne recently, resulting in four arrests and
the seizure of drugs. Police say that they seized 700 grams of cocaine with an estimated street value of $300,000. Victoria Police Detective Senior Sergeant Tim Moreland said “police will continue to crack down on those seeking to make a quick buck dealing drugs by arresting offenders, putting them before the courts and holding them account for their selfish actions.”
