Drug Operation Closure at Sunshine Coast
Detectives from the Crime and Intelligence Command’s Drug and Serious Crime Group and the Sunshine Coast District have closed a major operation focused on drug trafficking, resulting in the arrest of seven people on over 40 charges.
Operation Sierra Emperor commenced in September 2020 to target the unlawful sale and distribution of cocaine and other dangerous drugs on the Sunshine Coast.
Multiple search warrants were executed at Sunshine Coast locations including Mountain Creek, Kuluin and Palmwoods on April 21 and 22.
During the searches of the properties police located and seized 13 ounces of cocaine valued at approximately $132,000 as well as MDMA, steroids and firearms and around $30,000 in cash.

A 27-year-old Buderim man was charged with 15 offences and a 27-year-old Mountain Creek man was charged with 11 offences. A further four men and a woman were also charged with dangerous drug offences.
Sunshine Coast CIB officer-in-charge Daren Edwards said police will allege the seven people arrested were part of an “organised group”.
“Certainly, it showed with the level of drugs they had access to,” Detective Senior Sergeant Edwards said.
“They were fairly organised and people who had come up from southern areas of Brisbane which we are continuing investigation on.”
Sergeant Edwards said the 13-ounce block alone had a value of $132,000.
