A man has been arrested after a search uncovered methamphetamine, a sawn-off rifle and a suspected stolen motorcycle.
Police will allege that just before 9am on Saturday, 24 November, police acting on information received searched a house at Salisbury East.
When police entered the house, a man ran out the back door, throwing items that he was carrying into the house.
The items were later found to be containers of methamphetamine, with nearly four ounces seized. A search warrant was utilised and other drug paraphernalia was located in the house, including glass pipes, scent-proof pouches, plastic tubs, bags, scales, and a large amount of cash.
Police also located a sawn-off .22 rifle and ammunition, and a motorcycle was seized from the scene which contained no compliance or VIN plates and had a home-made number plate. Enquiries continue regarding the ownership of the firearm and motorcycle.
A 55-year-old Salisbury East man was charged with trafficking a controlled drug and other drug offences. He did not apply for bail and will appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Monday.
Anyone with information about the manufacture, possession and sale of illegal drugs is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or online atwww.crimestopperssa.com.au
