Police arrested two men in CBD this morning after they were intercepted and found with drugs, a weapon and cash.
A 19-year-old Richmond man and his 23-year-old passenger from Truganina were seen driving erratically in Latrobe Street about 9.55am, before being intercepted by officers from the Public Order Response Unit.
Officers conducted a search of the vehicle and it is alleged the pair were locate drugs including heroin, ammunition, cash believed to be the proceeds of crime and a knife.
They are currently in custody assisting police with their enquiries and are expected to be charged and remanded to appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court later today.
