Northern Territory Police have arrested three males after a drug and alcohol seizure near a remote community on Saturday.
At around 12:15am, police intercepted a vehicle, carrying three males, attempting to travel into Kalkarindji. A search was conducted and the following items were seized:
- Approximately $12,100 in cash.
- Approximately 460 grams of cannabis
- Digital scales, zip lock bags and other items indicative of drug supply
- Approximately 30 litres of alcohol
All three males were arrested. A 39-year-old male was charged with:
- Supply schedule 2 dangerous drug – less than commercial quantity
- Possess a schedule 2 dangerous drug – traffickable quantity
He was bailed to appear before local court on 15 November 2022.
The remaining two males, aged 56 and 33, were released pending further investigation.
Remote Sergeant David Van Der Merwe said, “These substances would have been destined for a number of communities in the area. Illicit drugs cause substantial harm to our most vulnerable.
“NT police will continue to disrupt and prosecute anyone who attempts to supply restricted substances into our community.”
