Two men have faced court after police allegedly seized drugs believed to be suboxone [an oral film prescribed to treat dependence on opioid drugs] and methamphetamine in the Riverina.
Police said Strike Force Gride was established in November 2023 to investigate the ongoing supply of prohibited drugs in Wagga Wagga.
Officers from the Regional Enforcement Squad, Southern Operation Support Group and Riverina Police District executed a search warrant at a home on William Street, North Wagga Wagga, at about 8 am on Wednesday (8 May).
During the search, police allegedly located and seized drugs believed to be suboxone and methamphetamine, allegedly stolen number plates, a chainsaw and a mobile phone.
Two people at the property at the time were questioned and released.
Officers executed a second search warrant at a home on Lloyd Road, Springvale, on the same day at about 9:45 am. They located and seized jewellery alleged to be the proceeds of crime and a mobile phone.
A short time later, officers attended a business in Copland Street, East Wagga, and arrested two men, aged 18 and 20, who were taken to Wagga Wagga Police Station.
The 20-year-old man was charged with supplying prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis and eight counts of supplying prohibited drugs, while the 18-year-old man was charged with supplying prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis and four counts of supplying prohibited drugs.
Both men were refused bail and appeared at Wagga Wagga Local Court on 9 May.
Investigations are ongoing.
