An additional search of a Port Melbourne gym revealed more illicit steroids, while a search warrant executed at a fifth Flemington house yielded $45,000 in cash and illegal steroids.
Detective Inspector Patrick Watkinson said what caught our interest is that they are allegedly supplying drugs to organized criminal leaders, not only benefitting financially but also facilitating their luxurious lifestyles.
Furthermore, he said the general public may believe that dealing with performance-enhancing drugs is harmless, but we’re looking at the big picture here, which is to target all areas of organized crime, including those affiliated with it.
Inspector Patrick added they want to send a message to individuals who associate with people with links to organized crime. If they get in touch in any manner, the chances of their activity tracking increase.
