Second person charged following meth interception

A 40-year-old Page man will face court today, Thursday 25 November, charged with drug importation offences following the interception of 4.5 kilograms of methylamphetamine earlier this month.

On Tuesday 23 November, as part of the ongoing investigation, ACT Policing Drugs and Organised Crime Team executed a search warrant on a Page residence.

During the warrant, methylamphetamine was located, along with drug paraphernalia, suspected stolen property and more than $15,000 in cash.

The man has been charged with attempted possession of a commercial quantity of an imported drug and trafficking in a controlled drug.  

This is the second arrest in this ongoing investigation, and police anticipate further charges will be laid.

A 39-year-old Bonner woman appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court yesterday, 24 November, on commercial drug importation charges arising from the ongoing police investigation.

Anyone with information about the importation, distribution, manufacture or supply of 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.
