Three men have been charged – and drugs and weapons have been seized from a vehicle – after a driver was stopped in Sydney’s south-west.
About 8.15am yesterday (Thursday 9 April 2020), officers from Liverpool City Police Area Command were conducting patrols of the Miller area, when they stopped a Hyundai i30 sedan travelling on Gabo Crescent allegedly driving in a dangerous manner.
After speaking with the 43-year-old driver, police allege he and his two male passengers, aged 28 and 29, did not have a reasonable excuse for travelling.
The driver underwent a roadside drug test and allegedly returned a positive result. His licence has been suspended.
When the vehicle was searched, police seized heroin, MDMA, methylamphetamine, an electronic stun device, a knife, $16,460 in cash and drug paraphernalia. These items were seized to undergo forensic examination.
All three men were arrested and taken to Liverpool Police Station.
The 29-year-old man has been charged with 21 offences, including:
• Custody of knife in public place
• Supply prohibited drug (three counts)
• Possess prohibited drug (10 counts)
• Goods in personal custody suspected being stolen (four counts)
• Possess or use a prohibited weapon without permit
• Deal with property proceeds of crime, and
• Fail to comply requirement public health order.
The 28-year-old man and 43-year-old man were both charged with fail to comply requirement public health order, and breach of bail.
All three men were refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court today (Friday 10 April 2020).
