A MAN charged with drugs and weapons offences following a raid in Bundall yesterday has made no application for bail.

Daniel White-Mayne, 25, appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court this morning charged with drug possession, unlawful possession of weapons and receiving tainted property.

His girlfriend, lawyer Briana Ioannides, will appear on the same charges next month.

Police will allege they found a sawn-off shotgun, a handgun, ammunition, steroids, ice, ecstasy and GHB at the Bundall home.

White-Mayne’s solicitor Chris Hannay, from Hannay Lawyers, made no application for bail and applied to adjourn the matter until December 10.

A GOLD Coast lawyer is facing a string of charges after police allegedly found a massive haul of weapons and drugs in her luxury Bundall home.

Briana Ioannides, a solicitor at Gold Coast firm Gatenby Criminal Lawyers, and her boyfriend Daniel White Mayne, 25, were both charged overnight with six offences including drug possession, unlawful possession of weapons and receiving tainted property.

Police allegedly found a sawn-off shotgun, a handgun, ammunition, steroids, ice, ecstasy tablets and GHB in the Coogeen St home.

White Mayne is expected to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court today, while Ioannides is expected to front court next month.

Detective Inspector Marc Hogan said a loaded sawn-off shotgun, a handgun and “more than enough” ammunition were found at the luxury Bundall home.

He said steroids, ice, ecstasy tablets and a bottle of suspected GHB or “fantasy”, that could fetch a significant price on the streets, were also found.

“Significant from our point of view is a wide range of materials, including a sawn-off shotgun and also a small semiautomatic pistol, a .22 calibre,” he said.

“There was a wide range of drugs there – cannabis, ecstasy, what we call GHB and an extensive amount of ­steroids.

“All in all it’s a good effort and good to see these things taken off the streets.”

Detective Insp Hogan confirmed that the raid was in no way associated with the arrest of 16-year-old Michael Brack’s accused murderer, which occurred in the same street last Monday.

“This is just by chance, there are no links whatsoever,” he said.

“We get a lot of information, in particular Crime Stoppers, it’s not any one source, so to speak.

“Members of the public ring up and over time things begin to stand out and it warrants attention and this is where it can end.”

Detective Insp Hogan said it was not believed the drugs were intended for Schoolies.

The large police raid comes as Bundall locals push for a larger police presence in the area.

Since the stabbing death, just metres from Coogeen St, residents have revealed the area is rife with drug deals and many don’t feel safe to leave their homes at night. The council is investigating installing CCTV around the area.

Solicitor Michael Gatenby declined to comment on Ioannides’ charges.
