Detective Inspector Brendan Smith from Gold Coast CIB said further arrests are expected.
“Those involved in drug and property crime need to understand; if they continue to offend they will be targeted,” Detective Inspector Smith said.
“We will come back as many times as it is necessary until their behaviour changes.
“The community expect us to do this and accordingly, we will be unrelenting in our efforts.”
All those charged will appear in Southport Magistrates’ Court over the coming month.
