ACT Policing has charged two men and seized drugs and weapons following a series of search warrants across the ACT last week.

The activity was part of Operation Vitreus, a national week of action by all state and territory police forces targeting the sale and distribution of illicit drugs with activities occurring across Australia.

Last week (1 – 5 September 2025), ACT Policing executed four search warrants, utilising teams from Criminal Investigations, Proactive Policing and Diversion Team, National Canine, Forensics, Surveillance, Specialist Operations, and Intelligence.

As a result of these activities, drugs seized included:

  • About 1kg of cocaine, with an estimated value of approximately $180,000-$220,000.
  • About 600mL of Benzylpiperazine.
  • About 500g of MDMA, with an estimated value of approximately $15,000.

Police also seized prohibited weapons, steroids and other drug paraphernalia.

Two arrests were made, with a 43-year-old man arrested at an address in Casey last Tuesday (2 September 2025) for drug trafficking and weapons offences.

On Thursday (4 September 2025), a 26-year-old man was arrested at an address in the City, charged with drug trafficking and prohibited weapons offences.

The two men will face court at a later date.
