Northern Territory Police have seized a large quantity of cannabis and alcohol destined for a remote community in the East Arnhem Region.
Yesterday afternoon, local police were conducting routine screening of an incoming flight from Cairns.
During the screening, police located four bottles of 700ml spirits and 1.2 kilograms of cannabis.
Four people, aged between 27 and 41, were issued with a Notice to Appear for drug offences and will appear before court on 31 January 2023.
One of the offenders was also arrested for an outstanding warrant. He was charged with breach of bail and bring liquor into a restricted area.
