Police in Queenstown carry out a drug crackdown that results in the arrest of doormen and charges being brought against people linked to an alleged drug operation. Reports say a local security firm loses its licence after five of its doormen—who work as security guards at bars and clubs—are among those busted. Police seized cocaine during the operation and also recover about $120,000 in cash. Another outlet reports that eight people are charged in connection with the drug operation, placing the doormen within a wider group of accused individuals. The accounts agree that the security firm’s licence is revoked following the arrests and that the crackdown targets those working in venue security roles. The seized drugs and cash are described as part of the evidence gathered by police. The coverage focuses on the arrests, the licence outcome for the security provider, and the nature of the alleged trafficking, including the involvement of bar and club doormen.
