Smart summary
A major Queensland Police investigation has led to arrests and charges after an alleged cocaine trafficking network was targeted across Hervey Bay and surrounding areas.
Queensland Police have carried out a major operation targeting an alleged drug trafficking network operating in the Hervey Bay region, resulting in multiple arrests and charges. The investigation focused on suspected cocaine distribution activities connected to several licensed venues in the area.
The police operation, known as Operation Xray Colugo, involved investigations over several months before officers carried out enforcement actions across Queensland locations. Authorities allege the network was involved in supplying cocaine through connections linked to Hervey Bay hospitality venues.
Police conducted searches and arrests as part of the operation, with officers targeting individuals allegedly involved in drug supply activities. Investigators seized drugs, cash, vehicles and firearms during the operation.

The investigation has involved multiple locations, including areas around Hervey Bay, Maryborough and other parts of Queensland. Police have encouraged anyone with information about illegal activity to contact authorities.
Businesses connected to the investigation have denied involvement in alleged criminal activity, and police investigations remain ongoing. Under Australian law, all people charged with offences are considered innocent until proven guilty.
Community safety remains a key focus for regional Queensland areas, with police continuing efforts to disrupt organised crime and prevent illegal drug distribution.
The operation highlights the ongoing work of law enforcement agencies in identifying and addressing alleged criminal networks while supporting safer communities across the Fraser Coast region.
