Bay raid uncovers drugs and cash

APort MacDonnell man was charged with drug trafficking last week after police searched his home.


The 42-year-old faced court last Wednesday after being arrested and charged with trafficking in a commercial quantity of a controlled drug.


Police attended the Port MacDonnell house on Wednesday and allegedly located a large amount of cash and drugs, including nearly one kilogram of suspected methamphetamine.


He was refused police bail to appear in the Mount Gambier Magistrates Court.


Meanwhile, a man was arrested after a break in at Naracoorte early last week.


Police will allege that about 6.10am on January 16 officers were called to a house after the male occupant was woken by an unknown man inside his house.


The victim confronted the suspect who fled the scene.


Crime Scene officers examined the scene and obtained forensic evidence which identified the suspect.


Later the same day, police went to a house in Naracoorte and arrested a 20-year-old man, charging him with aggravated serious criminal trespass, illegal interference of a motor vehicle, theft and being unlawfully on premises.


A search of his address located a car fridge which was also reported stolen earlier that morning.


The man was bailed to appear in the Naracoorte Magistrates Court at a later date.
