MORE schoolies are expected to stash drugs in their suitcases as the bikie crackdown dries up Gold Coast supplies.
The region's top bikie cop Superintendent Jim Keogh says it will be harder for school leavers to buy drugs on the glitter strip, so more are likely to risk bringing their own.
"They would be aware of the police crackdown here on the Gold Coast and it may promote some foolhardy action like bringing some form of drug which is just ridiculous," Supt Keogh told AAP.
"They'll eventually get caught."
Supt Keogh says police intelligence suggests drugs filter down from criminal motorcycle gangs to subsidiary suppliers and into the hands of schoolies.
He says the crackdown on bikies has severely disrupted the Gold Coast's drug distribution network.
This was evident when a drug sniffer dog failed to detect anything during a recent two-day operation at Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, he said.
'Cold, shocked beyond disbelief'
THOMAS Kelly's parents say they're "heartbroken", as the four-year sentence given to their son's killer is met with widespread outrage.
US man charged over $4m drug haul
A 69-year-old American allegedly tried importing four kilograms of methamphetamine worth $4 million in to Australia through Perth Airport yesterday.
"We detected no drugs on people which is a first," Supt Keogh told AAP.
Police won't say if the drug sniffer dog will be used during schoolies.
However there will be more than 300 officers from around Queensland in town for the annual end-of-school celebrations, which begin next week.
Already Gold Coast police have made a number of arrests for drug offences, but it is unclear whether the marijuana and various tablets were destined for schoolies holiday spots.
Authorities are warning school leavers against taking drugs, but have told them they won't be prosecuted if they fess up to paramedics.
