CARDIFF: A light plane carrying 45kg of cannabis and other drugs has been intercepted as police target bikie-linked criminals smuggling guns and drugs from South Australia into NSW.
The pilot of the plane was arrested when it landed in the NSW town of Deniliquin, close to the Victorian border, on Wednesday afternoon.
Police allege affiliates of the Descendants and Hells Angels bikie gangs in South Australia have been smuggling commercial quantities of drugs and firearms into NSW, and the drug-laden plane was part of that operation.
Police say the plane was carrying 45kg of cannabis and 4kg of a precursor used to make ice.
As part of the operation, simultaneous search warrants were executed in Hay, 120km north of Deniliquin, nine properties in Adelaide, and a number of properties on Queensland’s Gold Coast and in Brisbane.
