A 32-year-old Conder man has been charged after police seized illicit drugs, a firearm, cash and high-value assets during co-ordinated raids across Tuggeranong on Friday.

Police allege the man was involved in trafficking cocaine and accumulating assets derived from the proceeds of crime following an investigation under Operation Campania, an intelligence-led operation targeting the supply of illicit drugs in the ACT.

About 6am on Friday, police searched multiple properties across Tuggeranong.

During the searches, officers seized quantities of illicit drugs, cash, a firearm, firearms-related items and a range of electronic devices.

Police also seized several vehicles and other high-value assets under proceeds of crime legislation, including utility vehicles, motorcycles, watches and jewellery.

The man has been charged with drug trafficking, dealing with proceeds of crime worth $50,000 or more, possessing a prohibited firearm and possessing ammunition.

Operation Campania began in April 2025 and has focused on disrupting organised criminal activity linked to the supply of illicit drugs in the ACT.

A/Insp David Crowe said: “Criminals involved in the trafficking of illicit drugs cause significant harm to our community.

“This result highlights our determination not only to remove dangerous drugs from our streets, but also to target the profits and assets derived from criminal offending.”
