In February police from the Darling River Local Area Command formed Strike Force Hazelglen to investigate the supply of crystal methylamphetamine throughout the town.

The Strike Force arrested a 41-year-old man in Walgett in May as a result of a number of operations. The man was stopped on the Kamilaroi Highway in Walgett and a search of his car resulted in police seizing 16 grams of 'Ice' and a key-card knife. 

The 41-year-old man driving the car was arrested and subsequently charged with drug supply, drug possession, and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Further inquiries lead Strike Force Hazelglen investigators to attend home in Wee Waa, where they arrested a 41-year-old man on Sunday.

He was taken to Narrabri Police Station and charged with ongoing drug supply, drug possession and hinder investigation. Refused bail, he appeared before Narrabri Local Court on Monday. Following on from Sunday's arrest, investigators attended a home in Brewarrina. There, they arrested a 30-year-old man who has been taken to Brewarrina Police Station, where he is currently assisting police with their inquiries.

He is expected to be charged with ongoing drug supply and drug possession, before being bail-refused to appear before Bourke Local Court on Tuesday.

Darling River Local Area Commander, Superintendent Greg Moore, commended Strike Force Hazelglen investigators for their commitment to combating local drug supply networks.

"As has been widely documented in recent months, Ice is destroying lives right across Australia, and Brewarrina is no different," Superintendent Moore said.

"The people who manufacture and sell this poison are money-hungry criminals with no concern whatsoever for the health and wellbeing of others.

"I'd like to publicly recognise the officers involved in Strike Force Hazelglen for their work. 

"They have been relentless in their efforts, and have done an excellent job in disrupting what we will allege was a significant, local drug supply network."
