Two people have been charged with drug offences following a Taskforce Scelus investigation on Thursday at Somerset, in the state's North-West.
The investigation stemmed from police attempting to intercept an unregistered motorcycle being ridden by a male youth on Pelissier Street, Somerset.
The rider allegedly failed to stop for police and was later seen riding into the driveway of a nearby private residence.
Taskforce Scelus members attended the property and located the motorcycle.
The alleged rider, a 14-year-old boy, will be proceeded against under the Youth Justice Act 1997.
During a search of the premises, police allege they located about 2kg of cannabis.
A 34-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman, both from Somerset, were arrested and have since been charged with trafficking in a controlled substance.
Both were bailed to appear in the Burnie Magistrates Court at a later date.
Detective Acting Inspector Luke Negri said the result demonstrated the value of proactive policing by Taskforce Scelus.
"This matter began with police attempting to intercept an unregistered motorcycle being ridden unlawfully on a public street," Detective Acting Inspector Negri said.
"That investigation quickly led police to the discovery of a significant quantity of cannabis and evidence consistent with the sale of illicit drugs.
"Taskforce Scelus will continue to target high-risk behaviour, repeat offending, and drug-related crime in the Western District."
Anyone with information about illicit substances is urged to contact police on 131 444, or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestopperstas.com.au
