Duo Nabbed After Drugs, Weapons Found in Traffic Stop

Two men will face court after police located drugs, cash and weapons in a car on Saturday night.

Just after 11pm Saturday 15 November, Road Policing officers stopped a Mercedes sedan after it was spotted running a red light and conducting a u-turn at traffic lights on Bridge Road, Walkley Heights.

The driver underwent a drug test and returned a positive result to cocaine and methamphetamine.

Police conducted a search of the car and allegedly found 39 MDMA tablets, 15g Ketamine, steroids, approximately $3000 cash, balaclavas, a set of knuckle dusters, and three knives.

The 22-year-old driver from Gumeracha, and his passenger, an 18-year-old from Freeling, were arrested and charged with several offences including trafficking a controlled drug, possessing a prohibited weapon, possessing an article of disguise and possessing prescription drugs. Both men were granted bail to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on 16 January.

A fine was issued to the driver for traffic offences, and he may face further charges following forensic analysis of the drug test.
