Fifty-five people have been charged following a targeted police operation by investigators from Redfern Region Enforcement Squad (RES), into the supply and distribution of cocaine and illicit drugs across Sydney.
In September 2017, detectives from Redfern RES established Strike Force Northrop to investigate and target the ongoing supply of cocaine within the Central Metropolitan Region.
Investigations under Strike Force Northrop took place on six nights over three weeks in May, with assistance from Surry Hills, Sydney City, Kings Cross, Eastern Suburbs and Eastern Beaches Police Area Commands, and the Dog Unit.
During the operation, officers seized more than 290 grams of cocaine, 13 grams of MDMA, 110 grams of cannabis and $63,000 cash, charged 28 people with drug supply and charged 27 people with drug possession.
