Gold Coast detectives this morning located two alleged clandestine laboratories, including one set-up in the boot of a car, at Runaway Bay.
It will be alleged that officers located an active clandestine laboratory inside a unit in Bayview Avenue around 10.10am.
A subsequent search of a vehicle parked in the unit complex car park located a laboratory inside the boot.
Officers from the Illicit Laboratory Investigation Team, State Crime Operations Command, attend the scene to safely dismantle the laboratories.
Two men, a 29-year-old from Coomera and a 26-year-old from Middle Ridge, were taken into police custody and are currently assisting with investigations.
Several officers attending the scene were exposed to the active laboratories, with one officer requiring treatment for eye irritation.
Police investigations are continuing.
Anyone with information which could assist police with their investigations should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously via 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au 24hrs a day.
Crime Stoppers is a charitable community volunteer organisation working in partnership with the Queensland Police Service.
