Cop nabbed in drug swoop

A senior constable is one of several people arrested in a drugs swoop by Victoria police and the Office of Police Integrity.

Ethical Standards Department (ESD) police and Office of Police Integrity (OPI) investigators arrested several people as part of a joint investigation, codenamed Blackbird, an OPI spokesman said.

It was expected they would be charged with serious drug offences following a series of searches, the spokesman said.

"During one arrest, a 36-year-old senior constable from a Melbourne metropolitan station was taken into custody," he said.


"He is currently being interviewed by investigators and is expected to face the Melbourne Magistrates Court later this morning."

In a statement, OPI assistant director Graham Ashton said the arrests demonstrated the relationship between the OPI and Ethical Standards Department.

"This is an excellent example of the OPI and ESD working together.

"The support we have received from ESD has been excellent and demonstrates a commitment to the highest ethical standards and professional standards in the Victoria Police," he said.
