A 28-year-old man has been charged with drug trafficking following his arrest over the weekend after he was found in possession of meth and cocaine.

On Saturday 30 April, ACT Policing officers attached to the Drugs and Organised Crime Team with the assistance of officers from Taskforce Nemesis executed a search warrant on a man that had arrived at an address in Franklin. Detectives allegedly found the man in possession of both methylamphetamine and cocaine.  

Concurrently, officers executed a second search warrant at a linked address in Coombs, where steroids, cocaine and approximately 700 grams of methylamphetamine were found. Police officers also located a modified Colt .38 revolver, ammunition, electronic devices, drug distribution items and approximately $50,000 cash.   

The 28-year-old man is scheduled to face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning, Monday 2 May, where he faces charges of trafficking in a controlled drug. Further charges associated with this matter may be laid at a later date.  

The search warrants were executed as part of an ongoing investigation by the Drugs and Organised Crime Team into drug distribution in the ACT and surrounding region.  

Anyone with information about the manufacture, distribution and sale of illicit drugs in the ACT is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Information can be provided anonymously.
