A beauty entrepreneur who created a multi-million dollar business with her sister was allegedly a mid level drug dealer in a sophisticated peddling syndicate.

Kimberley Treacy founded The Lip Lab along with her younger sister Courtney in 2015. The duo opened 14 stores across Australia selling cruelty free beauty products.

The 29-year-old has now been charged with commercial drug supply offences after her western Sydney home was raided in connection to a supply syndicate in the south west Sydney region.

Strike Force Algid conducted a four-year investigation into the supply of ice and cocaine in the area, The Daily Telegraph reported.

While executing a search warrant of her Wilton home in 2016, specialist officers from NSW Police Dog Squad were assisted by detectives from Cambelltown and Camden as well as the South West Region Enforcement Squad to search nearby bushland.  

During the search, police found a blue Aldi freezer bag concealed under a rock holding $133,970 in cash, 1.05kg of ice and 3.8kg of cocaine.  

Police allege the DNA on the bag was consistent with Treacy. 

Just a year prior, an initial search of her home saw police seize $10,000 cash which had been hidden in a kitchen range hood. 

Police allege Treacy is a 'significant' mid level dealer but that her de facto partner Shannon Macauley, 37, masterminded the syndicate

In July 2017, police executed another warrant at Kimberley Treacy’s home. 

There they found $71,050 cash stuffed in a bag in a downstairs playroom and another $79,950 in a Christmas present. 

Police allege Treacy is a ‘significant’ mid level dealer but that her de facto partner Shannon Macauley, 37, masterminded the syndicate.

The duo were each charged with three counts of prohibited drug supply and two counts of deal with the property proceeds of crime equal to or greater than $100,000. 

Treacy was able to post a $30,000 bail surety and currently reports to Narellan Police Station seven days a week

Campbelltown City Police Area Command crime manager Detective Inspector Greg Inger said his team works hard to identify people who are involved in high level drug supply.  

‘We like to target mid- to high-level drug offenders and as part of that we identified these two [Kimberley Treacy and Macauley] as allegedly being involved in the supply of a large amount of drugs.

‘We look at all opportunities to identify people on the higher end as it has a significant flow-on effect down the chain.’

Treacy was able to post a $30,000 bail surety and currently reports to Narellan Police Station seven days a week.

Daily Mail Australia in no way suggests Treacy’s younger sister and The Lip Lab business partner, Courtney, had any involvement in the alleged drug proceedings.
