Those were the words of Dubbo Detective Sergeant Mark Meredith following a police search of a Hunter Street Unit that turned up illicit drugs and cash.
Dubbo detectives, Target Action Group members and a sniffer dog descended on the cul-de-sac on Tuesday morning.
A 38-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman who lived at the premises were taken to Dubbo Police Station where they are helping police with their inquiries.
The search warrant was part of a strike force initiated in March to target the sale and distribution of illicit drugs in the Orana Local Area Command.
It followed last week's search of an Elizabeth Street unit where drugs and cash were also seized as part of the same operation.
"This is an ongoing strike force," Detective Sergeant Meredith said.
"We are targeting illicit drugs being possessed and sold and administered within the Orana Local Area Command.

"Obviously there have been a number of search warrants executed in Dubbo, but it (the operation) will not just be localised to the city, we will be looking at the (entire) command.
"Information coming from the public is looked at constantly. It is handy. In this situation it's culminated in the search warrant today."
Detective Sergeant Meredith revealed surveillance had been carried out on particular people and places and that would continue.
"A lot of time and resources have been spent on this strike force," he said.
"It's a timely message again, that all information is dealt with. We are looking at a lot of people.
"Perhaps drug users and sellers need to be mindful that we know who you are.
"It may just be an advantage to speak with us before we speak with you, because will be more search warrants executed in this command."
