Southern Region Enforcement Squad (RES) have arrested four people as part of investigations into an alleged drug supply operation.
In September 2020, Strike Force Koombahla was established by the Monaro RES to investigate the supply of prohibited drugs in the Goulburn area.
Following extensive investigations, strike force officers, with the assistance of the Dog Unit and The Hume Police District, arrested two men and two women over their alleged involvement in the supply of 'ice' and other prohibited drugs throughout the region.
The police operation began shortly after 6am this morning, with four search warrants executed at homes in Jubilee Avenue, Taralga Road and Churchill Street, Goulburn.
During the searches, officers located and seized cannabis, methylamphetamine, prescription medication, prohibited weapons, firearms, cash and electronic devices.
These items will undergo forensic examination.
Two men aged 32 and 54 and two women aged 22 and 52 were arrested and taken to Goulburn Police Station, where charges are expected to be laid.
Investigations are continuing.
