Queensland police have charged three men and a boy with more than 50 serious offences after three teenage girls were allegedly drugged and raped at a party in Brisbane last year.

Detectives allege the men aged 24, 21 and 20 and a 16-year-old boy invited three girls to a party in Toowong, in Brisbane's inner west, where they were drugged and sexually assaulted multiple times.

The three men and teenage boy have been charged with seven counts of rape, three counts of administering a stupefying drug to commit rape, two counts of sexual assault, contravene direction and drug offences.

Police said the charges were laid as part of Operation Tango Whirlpool, following four search warrants at addresses in South Brisbane on April 1.

The investigation began in December last year involving detectives from the Inner West Child Protection Investigation Unit and Inner West Crime Group.

Police said detectives arrested the men and boy on Thursday morning with the assistance of Dog Squad, Tactical Crime Squad and other specialist units.

The men and boy appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Saturday, where one of the accused applied for bail, which was denied.

Three of the accused had their cases adjourned to April 27, while the fourth accused had his adjourned to April 6.

Police are appealing for anyone with further information relating to the matter or victims of similar incidents to come forward.
