A young woman has been dragged into the back of a police van in Sydney‘s CBD after being arrested during a statewide sting targeting alleged dial-a-dealers.
The woman, dressed in a revealing black top and white shorts, was arrested on Hunter Street on November 22 by an undercover police officer posing as an eshay.
During a search of her vehicle, police allegedly discovered 14 bags of cocaine and over $6,000 in cash hidden in a compartment.
She was taken to Day Street Police Station and charged with six offences: supplying a prohibited drug, dealing with the proceeds of crime, possession of a prohibited drug, driving while suspended, and failing to display P plates.
Her arrest was part of a larger police effort to dismantle alleged dial-a-dealer operations linked to cocaine, which took place from November 22 to December 7.
Of these, 64 were charged with supplying a prohibited drug, 44 were charged with drug possession offences, and one person was also charged with domestic violence-related crimes.
More than $20,000 worth of drugs were seized, including 560g of cocaine, 78 MDMA caps, weed, ketamine and ice.
Almost $99,000 of cash and several cars were also seized.

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Peter McKenna said operations targeting the alleged distribution of illegal drugs in the Sydney area will continue.
‘Whether they are major drug suppliers, mid-level or street level, I will continue to put resources into disrupting their operations,’ he said.
More than 100 people have been arrested and charged during the latest ‘dial-a-dealer’ operation
Drugs seized in the statewide sting include cocaine, MDMA, weed, ketamine and ice
‘We opened 2024 with a significant operation targeting major dealers and have continued to put pressure on illegal drug distribution, with these three weekends of action focused on street-level distributors.’
The police operation will continue into 2025.
