Public Order Response Team members have arrested two alleged drug dealers and impounded a Maserati during a routine intercept in Kilmore last night.
Officers pulled over the vehicle on the Northern Highway as they were interested in speaking with the registered owner about 7.30pm.
While the Maserati’s owner wasn’t present, police soon discovered the 34-year-old driver’s licence had been disqualified.
While explaining to the driver that the Maserati he was driving was going to be impounded, he began acting erratically.
Officers conducted a search of the two occupants and their car, allegedly locating traffickable quantities of methamphetamines, amphetamines, a small amount of cannabis, suspected stolen ID cards and more than $2000 in cash.
The Mickleham driver and his 50-year-old male passenger, from Keilor Downs, were both charged drug trafficking, drug possession and proceeds of crime offences.
They will both appear at Heidelberg Magistrates’ Court this morning.
Police also impounded the Maserati for a month.
Anyone with information about illicit drug activity is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
