A police drug sting at Hervey Bay has stopped an estimated $200,000 worth of cannabis hitting the streets of the Fraser Coast.

In an investigation that crossed state borders, Hervey Bay police were able to intercept a 44-year-old man picking up a package from the Torquay post office about 3.15pm on Tuesday.

Earlier in the day police had received a call from police in Brisbane who had found a Hervey Bay bound package at the airport containing 3.2kg of cannabis. It had been sent from South Australia.

After being given a description of the package Hervey Bay police made a mock package and, with the co-operation of Australia Post staff, set the sting in motion.
