Three people have been charged following the execution of a search warrant in relation to alleged hooning activity and drug offences in the Caloundra South area.

Police allege that a black Holden ClubSport was filmed doing a burnout on Packer Road, Baringa, at about 11am on Thursday.

A search warrant was later executed at an Annalise Circuit address, where a 32-year-old man was taken into custody and a vehicle was seized.

He was charged with one count each of dangerous operation of a vehicle and vehicles used on roads must be registered.

The man is due to appear in the Caloundra Magistrates Court on April 10.

Police allegedly located a quantity of cannabis, methylamphetamine, gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and drug utensils while searching the Annalise Circuit property.

A 28-year-old Nirimba woman, who was at the address, has been charged with three counts of supply dangerous drugs, two counts each of possess utensils or pipe and possessing anything for use in the commission of crime, and one count each of possessing dangerous drugs, possessing dangerous drugs schedule 1, and possessing property suspected of having been used in connection with the commission of a drug offence.

A 34-year-old Nirimba woman was charged with two counts each of possessing dangerous drugs, unlawful possession of suspected stolen property, and one count each of possess utensils or pipes, fail to take reasonable care and precautions in respect of syringe or needle, possessing anything for use in the commission of crime, and authority required to possess explosives.

Both women are due to appear in the Caloundra Magistrates Court on May 1.

Sergeant Marty Simpson, of Caloundra South police station, said officers would not tolerate hooning.

“Intentionally driving in a dangerous manner on public roads not only puts your life at risk, but the lives of passengers and innocent members of the public,” Sgt Simpson said.

“We are committed to ensuring south Caloundra roadways are safe for all road users.”
