A Mount Evelyn man will face court charged with a string of drug offences following the unveiling of a south-eastern crime syndicate.
The 36-year-old man was charged with a range of drug offences and bailed to appear in court at a later date after detectives searched a Carrum Downs address on Thursday 13 May.
Detectives seized an alleged commercial quantity of drugs, an imitation firearm, three motorcycles and a large quantity of cash at the address.
While executing the search, one member of the syndicate arrived on a motorcycle and attempted to flee but was found nearby.
A 34-year-old Pattersons Lakes man, a 40-year-old Sandhurst man, and a 31-year-old Carrum Downs man were also charged with a number of drug related offences.
A 33-year old man and 30-year-old woman from Carrum Downs remain in custody and are said to be assisting police with their enquiries.
