A mortgage broker and a property developer are among the four men charged with more than 650 offences over a major cocaine and ice operation on the Gold Coast.
The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) will allege the men charged were major players in a distribution network that had links to the Hells Angels motorcycle gang.
The CCC said the arrests come after an ice production site was identified at Tedder Avenue at Main Beach, where ice was cut, recrystallised, and then packaged for distribution.
It will be further alleged the cumulative quantities of ice and high purity cocaine trafficked by the syndicate involved multiple kilograms of drugs.
The ice component was estimated to have a wholesale value of approximately $250,000 but had a significantly larger street value after being cut, repackaged and sold.
A range of weapons were also seized including a pump action shotgun, rifle, butterfly knife and a Taser.
It will also be alleged one of the men charged also engaged in sourcing illegal steroids from Thailand.
The CCC has charged a 41-year-old Main Beach mortgage broker with 244 charges, a 55 year-old property developer from Surfers Paradise with 296 charges and a 46-year-old security systems expert from Main Beach with 26 charges.
All three have been charged with trafficking and supplying ice and cocaine.
The 41-year-old man was also charged with producing ice.
A 55-year-old man was charged by the CCC in January, as part of the operation, with 91 offences including trafficking ice and cocaine and 74 counts of supplying drugs.
The men were all bailed and are expected to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on March 3.
