South Australian police have launched a major new wave of arrests under Operation Ironside, the long-running investigation that used the encrypted AN0M app to monitor criminal communications. Beginning at 5am on October 29, police carried out coordinated raids across Adelaide and regional areas, targeting 23 properties and deploying nearly 300 officers. A total of 55 people were arrested and charged with offences including drug trafficking, drug manufacturing, and money laundering, bringing the total number of charges to 813. Six additional inmates were also transferred from prison to the city watchhouse for further processing. Police restrained more than 25 million dollars in assets, including properties, vehicles, bank accounts, and cash.
This latest phase, referred to as Ironside three point o, follows the recent High Court decision confirming that AN0M messages can be used as evidence. The ruling came after two Comanchero members argued the messages were obtained illegally. Parliament passed legislation clarifying that the messages were lawfully collected, and the High Court upheld that view. With the legal challenge dismissed, hundreds of Ironside prosecutions can now continue.
The Comanchero motorcycle club played a central role in the operation, as they were among the main groups coordinating drug distribution and criminal activities through the AN0M app. Their communications helped police map out broader criminal networks, making them key targets in all phases of the investigation.
The newly arrested individuals come from a wide mix of backgrounds, including bikie associates, large-scale drug suppliers, and others tied to organised crime. Among them is 35-year-old Casey Pinkerton, accused of trafficking while using the AN0M username "NotGilty." Several others had their cases delayed due to the high volume of defendants appearing in court at once. Grid Sparta has obtained and provided the full list of defendants in the video description.
The large number of arrests has created logistical pressure on the prison system, with buses moving current inmates to make room for newly charged suspects. Police describe the operation as historic and the result of extensive planning across multiple agencies.
More arrests are expected and the next phase is already underway.
