A 32-year-old man from Conder has been arrested by ACT Policing as part of Operation Campania, an intelligence-led initiative targeting illicit drug supply.

The operation involved executing multiple search warrants across the Tuggeranong region early Friday, resulting in the seizure of cocaine, cash, a firearm, firearms-related items, and high-value assets including utility vehicles, motorcycles, watches, and jewellery.The man is alleged to have been involved in trafficking cocaine and accumulating assets from criminal proceeds.

ACT Policing's Detective Acting Inspector David Crowe emphasized the operation's focus on disrupting organised crime linked to drug supply, stating that criminals involved in illicit drug trafficking cause significant harm to communities.The arrest highlights police commitment to targeting both dangerous drugs and the profits derived from criminal activity.

The accused will face charges of drug trafficking, dealing with proceeds of crime worth over $50,000, possessing a prohibited firearm, and ammunition possession.This case underscores ongoing efforts to dismantle drug networks and recover assets tied to organised crime in the ACT.
