Almost $300,000 in cash and eight vehicles were seized from a storage shed in Dookie on Wednesday, June 19.
Detectives from the Shepparton Crime Investigation unit snared $280,000, a Harley-Davidson, Holden Caprice, jet ski trailer, KMT motorbike, Yamaha 450, Suzuki 750, Holden Commodore and Seadoo jet ski from the property — all of which will be alleged to have been purchased with the proceeds of crime.
Police will allege the items belong to a 33-year-old Shepparton man, who was arrested recently in relation to alleged commercial drug trafficking offences.
He is facing eight charges including trafficking a large commercial quantity of methamphetamines, trafficking a commercial quantity of cocaine and trafficking cannabis.
He was remanded to appear at Shepparton Magistrates’ Court in October.
Recently, police executed 13 search warrants, arrested 11 people and seized $600,000 of drugs and cash.
Among those arrested were eight Shepparton men who have since been charged with trafficking drugs, including five charged with trafficking a commercial quantity.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
