$3.7 million ice distribution syndicate

Police investigating an alleged drug syndicate have charged seven people and seized illegal drugs following a number of raids across Sydney where two clandestine laboratories were discovered. In November 2009, police from Surry Hills Region Enforcement Squad formed Strike Force Forsythe to investigate the distribution of crystal methamphetamine (Ice) in inner and south-west Sydney. Following a controlled operation, heavily armed police from the State Protection Groups Tactical Operations Unit as well as officers from the Region Enforcement Squad (Surry Hills) executed five simultaneous search warrants at homes in Bankstown, Hinchinbrook, Merrylands and West Ryde last night. Six men and a woman were arrested during the raids and taken to police stations in Green Valley, Newtown and Redfern. All seven were refused bail and are expected to appear at courts across Sydney including Central Local Court, Newtown Local Court and Liverpool Local Court.
