Drug Squad detectives have charged a 67-year-old man with drug offences after uncovering an alleged drug trafficking operation between Adelaide, in South Australia, and Woodpark.
Police will allege large quantities of cannabis were being collected in Adelaide before being driven to NSW and supplied in Sydney.
The NSW Drug Squad worked closely with the South Australia Police Drug Investigation Branch, with a man arrested in Adelaide on Friday 3 February 2012.
South Australia Police allegedly located more than 2.5 kilograms of cannabis and $15,000 cash in a car.
A search warrant at a home in Woodpark, NSW, by NSW Drug Squad detectives led to the dismantling of a hydroponic cannabis set-up containing about 25 plants and the seizure of a further 10 kilograms of cannabis.
The man faced court in South Australia on drugs charges before travelling to NSW to meet with NSW detectives.
About 10.30am yesterday (Monday 6 February 2012), the 67-year-old man attended Parramatta Police Station where he was arrested by NSW Drug Squad detectives.
He was charged with the enhanced indoor cultivation of cannabis for commercial purposes and supplying an indictable quantity of cannabis.
The man faced Parramatta Local Court yesterday afternoon and has been granted conditional bail to next appear on 16 February 2012.
The NSW Drug Squad will continue to work with its interstate counterparts to investigate and target the cultivation, possession and supply of cannabis.
