18-Year-Old Burnside Teen Faces Life In Prison Following Operation Ironside Drug Raids

An 18-year-old Adelaide boy is the youngest South Australian to have been arrested following last week’s Operation Ironside drug sting.

Apostle Broikos, a recent St Ignatius College graduate, was charged with manufacturing and trafficking a controlled drug, as well as tracking in a large commercial quantity of a controlled drug.

He will appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court on July 1 and will face the potential of life in prison if found guilty of his charges.

South Australia Police arrested 95 people during last week’s raids; the conclusion to a three-year international investigation into organized crime and drug syndication. 10,000 ecstasy pills, 90kg of meth, 350kg of cannabis and 30 firearms were seized during the South Australian operation.
