WA Police have seized more than 150 packages containing illicit drugs, in a four day blitz in the lead up to Leaver’s week.
The packages contained mostly methamphetamine, but also ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, cannabis and a range of other drugs.
Acting Commander John Ballantyne said many of the intended recipients would now face charges including possession and possession with intent to supply.
“Some of the intended recipients have been identified as being 17 and 18 years old, so it is not unreasonable to suggest that some of those drugs could have been destined for Leavers,” he said.
“What I do know is that none of those drugs will make it to Leavers.”
The organised crime squad and canine unit were involved in the operation targeting drugs sent through the post.
Police said they were still trying to determine whether the drugs were purchased online and whether they came from interstate, overseas or a combination of both.
The purpose of the operation was to limit the amount of drugs on the street during Leavers, which begins on Monday.
The seizures ranged from small packages to larger ones, including 100 ecstasy tablets, 84 grams of amphetamine, 87.5 grams MDMA powder and 100 LSD tabs.
Acting Commander Ballantyne once again urged parents to talk to their children about the dangers associated with illicit drugs.
“It’s up to parents to talk to their leavers now to make sure they make the right decisions, not the wrong ones, a bad decision now could lead to implications into the future which could have far reaching consequences.”

New inspectors join Pilbara district office
Two new inspectors have joined the Pilbara police district office in Karratha.
Ken Nicolson will be supervising police stations in West Pilbara.
John Ballantyne will oversee crime management and governance.
They are replacing Inspector Craig Lockhart who has moved to Perth and Inspector Phil Clews who is moving to Broome.
Inspector Ballantyne has just returned from a stint with the Australian Federal Police in the Solomon Islands and East Timor.
His role in the Pilbara will be to “police the police”.
Inspector Ballantyne says his new role will provide a challenge.
“It’s to ensure that the police within the Pilbara adhere to the policies and the procedures of the WA Police Service and indeed the statute laws set by Government,” he said.

Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 – 1995), Monday 3 October 1966, page 1
Identi-kit picture of youth
Police constructed this Indenti-kit picture from descriptions of the boy said to have been seen in the area where Alan Redston was killed. The picture was issued to newspapers and television stations yesterday.
Police searching for the killer of six-year old Alan Geoffrey Redston issued yesterday an Identi-kit drawing of a youth wanted for questioning.
The identi-kit picture was shown on television yesterday and will continue to be shown during the week. The description was broadcast also.
The description of the youth, as given by police, is 13 to 15 years of age, about 5ft 6in tall, with blond hair which possibly falls over his forehead when untidy. He may have a scar over his left eye.
A statement issued by Canberra police said, “It is believed this person can assist inquiries and resides in or frequents the Woden Valley area.
“When last seen in the Curtin dump area on Monday, September 26, after school hours, he was described as wearing a white pullover or T-shirt with blue jeans and riding a bicycle which had a spade attached to it”.
Police see boys
Yesterday two boys whom police believe might identify this youth were interviewed in Canberra by Senior Constable John Schmidt of the modus operandi section, CIB, Sydney.
Constable Schmidt flew to Canberra for the day to help compile a composite picture of the youth from descriptions.
He said the identi-kit had been used successfully by NSW police investigating crimes. It contained 525 slides, and was capable of producing 62 billion variations of the human face.
The body of Alan Redston was found, bound and wrapped in a house coat and in pieces of felt, in the bed of Yarralumla Creek at Curtin on Wednesday morning. An autopsy showed he had died of strangulation caused by a rope looped around his neck and tied lo another rope binding his hands and feet.
Detective Constable B. W. Baulman, of Canberra, one of the 12 detectives on the case, said yesterday police had discontinued inquiries in the northern suburb of Hackett after questioning several boys.
Investigations in that area had failed to produce any new information.
Police have been working 18 hours a day interviewing children and householders. They have called at homes, and have stopped boys in the street in the Woden Valley seeking information. They attended Alan Redston’s funeral at the Methodist National Memorial Church, Forrest, on Saturday afternoon with several boys.
Dearly loved father of Jennifer, Laura, Christine, Lesley, Brent, Kirstie & their families.
Relatives & friends are warmly invited to attend Graham’s funeral service which will be held in St Ambrose Anglican Church, Gilgandra on Friday 17th February, 2017 commencing at 10.30am followed by private cremation.
