According to the ODT, the High Court has restrained the Tarras property and a vehicle of Wendy Maree Davison, under criminal-proceeds legislation.

Police claim the woman's ex, Clinton Lee Forman, made more than 150-thousand dollars in drug-related cash deposits to her bank between 2017 and 2024.

In one instance, six deposits totalling more than eight thousand dollars were made in just 15 minutes.

Police say the deposits have the characteristics of money laundering.
