Cocaine, methamphetamine, cash, guns and allegedly stolen goods were seized after 21 homes were raided, with some having their doors smashed down, between Monday and Wednesday last week.
Detectives from Upper Mt Gravatt and South Brisbane arrested two women and 20 men on 130 charges related to drug trafficking, supply and possession as well as firearms and stolen property.
Senior Sergeant Murray Cumner said police had received numerous tip-offs from residents.
"What’s important to point out as well, is the numerous amount of calls and assistance we have received from the community," he said.
"All the officers involved in this operation are extremely proud to deliver a good result back to the community.
"Removing drugs from South Brisbane streets has been a priority and a collaborative effort between police and members of the public who simply don’t want drugs in the area."
All of the accused will face Brisbane courts in the coming months.
