QLD Police conducted three days of raids on the Gold Coast over the weekend which included four Surfers Paradise nightclubs, reports News.com.au.
In what is being labeled as "the Gold Coast's biggest drug blitz," Police raided nightspots SinCity, Club Liv, Vanity and Shuffle Nightclub, seizing 18kgs of cocaine, MDMA and methamphetamine and six litres of methamphetamine oil which authorities claim could have been used to make $11 million in drugs.
Those arrested in the blitz - which was the result of an 18-month investigation - include Gold Coast DJ and club manager Joseph 'JoeyMojo' Sandagon and Jamie Pickering - owner of popular Surfers Paradise clubs that include SinCity and Vanity. Pickering owns a multimillion dollar property portfolio which includes a $250,000 yellow Ferrari with the number plates "SINCITY."
Among the 152 people in total arrested were 37 bikie gang members, including Joshua Downey - former Bandidos bikie gang sergeant-at-arms and Cleo Bachelor of the Year nominee.
