Police have shut the Candy's Apartment nightclub in Potts Point, Sydney over concerns the venue is being used to supply drugs.
The closure comes after three months of investigation into illegal drugs around the Kings Cross area that identified "a number of drug supply and licensing breaches".

The Bayswater Road club was cleared of patrons on Saturday night and will not be allowed to open for 72 hours.
Outside the club, Kings Cross Local Area Command officers arrested a 21-year-old man who was allegedly found to have 60 MDMA capsules. Police later searched a house at Oakhurst in Sydney's west and charged the man with 22 drug offences.
Another man, Elliott Harper, a resident DJ at the club, described on Facebook what he saw as an over-reaction by police. "I've just witnessed 40 police officers storm into Candys and shut the venue down because 'the patrons are in danger'," he said.
"The entire Bayswater Road has been blocked off and police tape has been used to section off the street outside the club. You would think that a murder has taken place."
Owner Charlie Mancuso said "the police have to show they are doing something other wise they are going to lose their jobs."
Arguing they had disregarded "all the innocent people", he called on patrons to "fight for your rights, show your displeasure".
Candy's Apartment promoter Jarrad Bodeker said in June the club's time in the Cross could soon end.
"To be honest if we can find another area we'll go, it's not worth it any more to be here," Mr Bodeker told The Daily Telegraph.
"We're one of the busier clubs but the street traffic is down, there's nobody coming to the city at all."
The investigation into Kings Cross drug supply continues under Strike Force Roby.
