DRUG squad detectives have closed down a major drug operation on the Gold Coast just days before the annual Schoolies Week festival.
About 50 officers raided 20 addresses across the Gold Coast yesterday, seizing more than $350,000 of ecstasy and cocaine.
Eleven people have been charged with 66 drug-related offences.
Detective Superintendent Brian Wilkins said the operation was timely as the ecstasy was to have been distributed at Schoolies.
"The co-ordinated nature of this effort has resulted in significant drug seizures and the arrest of a number of people," Supt Wilkins said.
Three men who were charged with trafficking in ecstasy and cocaine will appear before the Southport Magistrate's Court today with the other alleged offenders expected to appear in the Southport Magistrate's Court on November 30.
Crime Stoppers can be contacted on 1800 333 000.
