Arrested for possession
A 32-year-old Umina man has been arrested and charged after he was allegedly caught with six kilograms of cannabis during a vehicle stop at Buronga on December 19.
The man was driving a white Ford panel van along the Sturt Highway in the state's south-west when he was stopped by highway patrol officers around 12.30am.
On inspection of the vehicle, police allegedly discovered three plastic bags containing cannabis with an estimated street value of more than $50,000.
The highway patrol officers also found three small bags containing a small amount of white powder believed to be cocaine, according to police.
The man was arrested and taken to Dareton police station where he was charged with two counts of drug possession and charged with being in possession of property believed to be proceeds of crime.
He was conditionally bailed and will face Wentworth Local Court next month.
