A 44-year-old Beverley Park man has been charged with commercial drug supply offences following a three month police investigation.

In April of this year, the State Crime Command’s Gangs Squad formed Strike Force Halidon to investigate a drug supply syndicate operating out of Sydney’s southern suburbs.

Around 6.15pm yesterday (Thursday 26 June 2014), detectives from the Gangs Squad arrested a 44-year-old man at a property on Peace Avenue in Peakhurst.

Officers subsequently executed a search warrant at the property, locating and seizing:

- Approximately 11 ounces of cocaine;

- Small amounts of methylamphetamine;

- 600 rounds of .45 calibre ammunition;

- 200 rounds of .22 calibre ammunition;

- Numerous items associated with the supply of illicit drugs; and,

- A 2014 Subaru WRX.

Detectives also executed a search warrant at a property on Harslett Avenue in Beverley Park, locating and seizing cash and documents.

The 44-year-old man was taken to St George Police Station where he was charged with commercial drug supply and dealing in the proceeds of crime.

He was granted bail to appear in Sutherland Local Court on 17 July 2014.

The investigation by Strike Force Halidon continues and more arrests are expected.
