Four motor vehicles, three motorbikes, a boat and its trailer were seized as proceeds of crime with Gerrard Gordon Parkes sentenced to eleven years’ imprisonment for methamphetamine possession and supply.
Parkes was found to have supplied or possessed for supply nearly 570 grams of methamphetamine. Police assessed the value at $478,300. The High Court approved a negotiated settlement under the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act for the sale of assets seized: a Nissan Skyline, Land Rover, Chevrolet Camaro, Holden V8, Kawasaki ZX motorbike, two Harley Davidson motorbikes, and a Haines Hunter motorboat named ‘Licence to Thrill’ together with its trailer. In total, their estimated value is $153,800. All the vehicles were registered to individuals other than Parkes, or otherwise registered to fictitious names. Those listed as owner who could be traced said they had no interest in the asset. Most of the vehicles were registered to the name of Parkes former de facto partner, Whitney Harris.
