State Crime Command's "surge" deployment was a multifaceted operation, led by the Raptor Squad, in a bid to target and prevent crime in the Batemans Bay area and surrounds.

The operation ran between Monday, March 18, and Thursday, March 21 and involved the deployment of more than 60 officers attached to State Crime Command, who travelled to Batemans Bay to work in collaboration with South Coast Police District and specialised resources, including Pol Air, Traffic and Highway Patrol, and the NSW Crime Commission.

During the four-day operation, officers completed more than 360 random breath and drug tests, issued 64 infringement notices, seized $14,240 cash, eight firearms, and $246,547 worth of drugs.

Raptor Squad commanding officer, Detective Superintendent Andrew Koutsoufis, said the operation targeted outlaw motorcycle gang members, along with "their associates and criminal networks involved in serious crime, including violent crime".

There were "a number of reasons" why Batemans Bay was chosen for an intensive police operation, he said.

"Wastewater results show that Batemans Bay has some issues with drug use that we need to target," Det Supt Koutsoufis said.

Southern Regional Operations Commander Detective Superintendent Tim Beattie, said the results were the culmination of months of work by the The South Coast command and the Southern Region Enforcement Squad.

"This surge operation is one of many across the state but we've also had similar operations in Albury, wagga, and we intend to do more in the future," Det Supt Beattie said.

"There are more operations like this that will be conducted across the entire southern region."
