A Western Australian man was arrested yesterday during an operation targeting interstate drug trafficking, according to SA Police.
In September, police from the Heavy Vehicle Enforcement Section uncovered a plan to smuggle 4.5 kilograms of cannabis and 28 grams of methamphetamine via an interstate transport company. The drugs were seized and an investigation was launched.
As a result, police yesterday arrested a 46-year-old man from Kununurra, Western Australia at Wingfield and charged him with trafficking in a large commercial quantity of a controlled drug (cannabis) and a trafficable quantity of a controlled drug (amphetamine). He was refused police bail and will appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Monday, 21 November.
