Suspected gang member arrested and charged with possession of drugs and cash found in vehicle.

Police in NSW's far north coast have charged a man who is believed to be a member of the Mongols Outlaw Motorcycle Gang after a routine vehicle stop resulted in the discovery of $15,000 worth of drugs. The incident occurred yesterday morning at 9am when officers pulled over a Ford Ute on Gollan Drive in Tweed Heads West. The car had been flagged for a defect, prompting the stop.

Upon searching the vehicle, police uncovered a stash of MDMA pills hidden under the driver's seat. The pills were promptly seized for further examination. According to NSW Police, the estimated street value of the drugs is approximately $15,000. In addition to the drugs, officers also seized over $6,500 in cash, as well as small amounts of cocaine, a knife, and various electronic devices.

The driver, a 37-year-old man who is believed to be a member of the Mongols OMCG, was arrested at the scene and taken to Tweed Heads Police station. He has since been charged with multiple offences. These include two counts of drug possession, possession of a dedicated encrypted communication device for criminal activity, supplying drugs in a commercial amount, and recklessly dealing with the proceeds of a crime.

Sadly, this is not the only recent incident involving criminal activity in NSW. Just last week, a court exonerated the world's longest-serving death row inmate. And earlier this year, the tragic suicide of 12-year-old Charlotte, a Sydney schoolgirl, raised concerns about the way bullying is handled in Australian schools.

The alleged member of the Mongols OMCG was refused bail and appeared in Tweed Heads local court yesterday. He is scheduled to appear in the same court again on November 25.
