An alleged Queensland Rebels gang member has been charged with giving a two-year-old boy the drug ice.
The boy was taken to a Brisbane hospital in June after an intervention by police that resulted in the child being removed from the home.
Superintendent Michael Niland revealed the details of the case on Thursday after the arrests of more than 80 people allegedly involved in an extensive Queensland drugs syndicate run by the Rebels motorcycle gang.
Among those arrested by Taskforce Maxima was a 27-year-old alleged member who has been charged with supplying drugs to the toddler.
"We will be alleging that he encouraged the child to consume methamphetamine," Supt Niland told reporters.
Also arrested was a 28-year-old alleged gang member who has become the first person in Queensland to be charged with recruiting under anti-bikie gang laws introduced last year.
Police seized $5 million worth of drugs, including 3kg of MDMA, 2kg of cocaine, 4kg of ice, 85kg of cannabis and 60 vials of steroids.
About $500,000 in cash was also seized. The raids follow a 14-month investigation into the alleged Rebels ring.
More than 200 police from specialist teams in Queensland, NSW and the AFP were involved.
Dozens of search warrants were executed over the past 24 hours across Brisbane, Pine Rivers, the Gold Coast, Dalby, Gympie and Jimboomba.
Eight members of the Rebels bikie gang, including the alleged sergeant-at-arms of the Tweed Heads chapter, have been charged with drug offences under Queensland's anti-bikie legislation.
