"Make no mistake, gangs are all about organised crime and making money," says Detective Senior Sergeant John Wilson.

"The sale of illicit drugs by these groups causes immense harm to those who can least afford it.

"Police are committed to targeting and investigating those who engage in illegal activity, and holding them to account, so that our people and our communities are kept safe.
