Police have arrested a man after finding illicit drugs in a car at Lockleys overnight, according to SA Police.

Just after midnight on Sunday 22 May, patrols spotted the man driving a BMW sedan at speed on Henley Beach Road before the car turned into Broughton Street.

Police approached the man after he pulled into the driveway of a house and a search of his car uncovered a large amount of cash in a bag on the front seat and a large quantity of methamphetamine hidden behind the rear seat.

The 23-year-old from Lockleys has been charged with trafficking a controlled substance.

He has been refused bail and will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court tomorrow.
