Almost 130 people on the North-West and West Coasts have been charged by police with almost 240 individual offences in the past three months.
Figures from Taskforce Sceelus have been released showing 128 people were charged with 237 offences.
Police say the taskforce seized eight firearms, $45,000 in cash, quantities of methyl-amphetamine or ice, MDMA, or ecstasy, LSD, and cannabis, and $5000 worth of stolen property between June and August.
Taskforce members searched 23 properties and 59 vehicles – seizing four.
Over the three months, police also conducted numerous targeted traffic operations, charging four drink drivers, 11 drivers with evading police and detecting 52 positive drug drivers with a range of positive results for ice, cannabis and opiates.
Police say the taskforce remains focused on targeting a range of offences including drug and firearm-related crime, and traffic offences, with the aim of reducing crime broadly within the community.
