Police have arrested two men following a drug search at Kent Town last night.
Just after 9pm on Friday 12 April, police, acting on information from the public, searched a property on Rundle Street and uncovered a clandestine drug laboratory.
The two men, who were at the property at the time, were both charged with manufacture a controlled drug. A 42-year-old from Kent Town was refused bail to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday while a 38-year-old from Kensington was bailed to appear in the same court on 22 May.
Clandestine drug labs and the chemicals associated are dangerous environments so police urge anyone with information about the manufacture of illegal drugs to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au You can remain anonymous.
