Officers spoke to the occupants before conducting a search of the vehicle, where they located and seized four containers of gamma-butyrolactone (GHB).

The liquid, weighing more than 1.5kg, was located in the backpack of the passenger.

The passenger, a 37-year-old man, was arrested and taken to Day Street Police Station where he was later charged with supply prohibited drug (commercial quantity). He was refused bail to appear at Central Local Court on Tuesday (28 April 2020).

The driver, a ride-share operator, was released pending further inquiries.
