Woman charged over $170k loan bid

A GOLD Coast woman has been charged after allegedly using false documents to obtain a large bank loan.

The 45-year-old was yesterday served with a Notice to Appear in court on one charge relating to the fraudulent falsification of records.

The charge follows an ongoing Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) organised crime investigation known as Operation Altana.

The operation targeted a high-threat organised crime syndicate allegedly involved in the production, supply and trafficking of crystal methylamphetamine (ice) and cocaine on the Gold Coast.

The CCC alleges the woman fraudulently falsified records to apply for a $170,000 bank loan contrary to section 430 (e) of the Criminal Code.

The woman, who has not been previously charged in relation to this investigation, is expected to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on August 31.

The CCC made a number of arrests in January and February related to an alleged ice production site at Main Beach as part of Operation Altana.
