A man is facing serious drug trafficking charges following a search warrant in Brighton East yesterday.
Following a month-long investigation into the alleged distribution of illicit substances across the Brighton area, detectives from the Caulfield Divisional Response Unit executed a search warrant at two units on North Road, just before 6am on Monday 20 July.
During a search of the properties, police allegedly located a commercial quantity of cocaine with an estimated potential street value of approximately $100,000, as well as ketamine and prescription medication.
Detectives also seized $45,000 in cash believed to be the proceeds of crime.
The 28-year-old man was arrested at the scene and charged with trafficking a commercial quantity of cocaine, and possessing ketamine, prescription medications and proceeds of crime.
He was remanded to appear in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today.
A 28-year-old woman was arrested, however, was released pending further enquiries.
