A vast drugs cache containing more than 9000 cannabis seeds has been seized from a home in St Georges Basin, near Jervis Bay, following a months-long investigation into the alleged interstate drug operation.
Officers from Strike Force Superba raided the home on Island Point Rd at about 8.15am on Wednesday, where they arrested a 35-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman on multiple drug charges.
During their search, officers allegedly uncovered an additional 1.2kg of cannabis leaf and magic mushrooms, as well as cash, electronic devices, and items consistent with drug supply.
The arrest comes more than two months after NSW Police established the strike force unit to investigate information provided to officers that cannabis seeds were being sold online to interstate buyers.
Officers attached to the South East Region Enforcement Squad, seized 76 packages of cannabis seeds from a post office in Vincentia on July 7, with assistance from Southern High Visibility Police and the Domestic Violence High Risk Offenders Team.
A further 72 parcels were then seized from the same post office on Tuesday.
The man and woman were taken to Nowra Police Station, where the man was charged with 13 offences, including seven counts of supplying a prohibited drug, five counts of cause to be carried by post article with controlled drug or plant, and dealing with the proceeds of crime.
The woman was charged with 12 offences, including six counts of supplying a prohibited drug, five counts of cause to be carried by post article with controlled drug or plant, and, dealing with the proceeds of crime.
The pair were granted conditional bail to appear in Nowra Local Court on August 16.
Police will allege the seeds were imported from Europe and North America before being sold nationally.
Inquiries under Strike Force Superba will continue."
