Woman faces 40 charges after police search properties

File picture

A WOMAN is facing 40 charges after she and two others were arrested during police drug raids on the Central Coast this week.

It comes after Tuggerah Lakes Police District officers formed Strike Force Peterborough in May to look into the alleged local supply of drugs.

Investigators executed three search warrants on Tuesday, at homes in Blue Haven and Halekulani.

Police allegedly seized illicit drugs, mobile phones, an extendable baton and ammunition. The items will be forensically examined, a NSW Police statement said on Thursday morning.

Two of the three were formally refused bail in Wyong Local Court on Thursday, while one was granted conditional release.

Jamie Lea Treglown, 33, was charged with 40 counts, including 31 counts of supplying a small quantity of a prohibited drug, eight counts of taking part in the supply of a small quantity of a prohibited drug, and one charge of knowingly directing the activities of a criminal group.

Benjamin Nichols, 32, is facing charges of possessing or using a prohibited weapon without a permit, possessing ammunition without a licence, and four counts of possessing a prohibited drug.

They both remain in custody and will face court again on August 20.

Sharnni Sbrugnera - a 30-year-old charged with possessing a prohibited drug and breaching bail - was granted conditional release when she faced court on Thursday.

Magistrate John Arms adjourned her matter to September 18.
