A man is due in court today charged after 2.3kg of GBL was seized when his car was stopped in the Inner West overnight.
Officers attached to the Inner West Proactive Crime Team were conducting high-visibility patrols of King Street, Newtown, about 7.15pm (Wednesday 22 July 2020), when they stopped an SUV after the driver almost hit a fully-marked police car.
After speaking with the 33-year-old driver, police searched the vehicle and seized almost 2.4kg of gamma butyrolactone (GBL) and $6750 cash. The drugs have an estimated potential street value of $7500.
The driver was arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station where he was charged with supply a commercial quantity of an illegal drug, and deal with property proceeds of crime.
The Fairfield man has been refused bail and is due to appear in Newtown Local Court today (Thursday 23 July 2020).
