Police have found drugs, weapons and fireworks at an Alice Springs address in Sadadeen yesterday afternoon.
Detective Senior Sergeant Leith Philips says a 41-year-old man was arrested and charged with several serious offences.
“Police will allege the man is involved in the sale and supply of methamphetamine and other drugs in Alice Springs,” Sgt Philips says.
“We will allege that at the residence were 7 grams of methamphetamine, 13 grams of cannabis, an unregistered shotgun, a modified ‘sawn off’ shotgun, a significant quantity of unsecured ammunition, a knuckleduster and knife, in excess of $7,000 cash and a large box of fireworks.”
The man has been bailed to appear in the Alice Springs Magistrates Court on 19 May.
“We are extremely relieved to have these weapons and drugs off the streets,” says Sgt Philips.
“Methamphetamine destroys lives and families and we urge all Territorians to help us get these drugs and drug dealers off our streets.”
