Two individuals have been accused of participating in a scheme to illegally bring two kilograms of methamphetamine into Perth. According to the police, they had received information about a potential drug smuggler and were on the lookout for any suspicious activity.
The first suspect, a 76-year-old man, had just arrived at Perth Airport on a flight from Melbourne on Tuesday. The authorities believed that he may have been carrying drugs with him, so they searched him upon his arrival. They then observed him collecting a bag and exiting the airport.
It is alleged that the bag he retrieved contained more than two kilos of methylamphetamine. The police continued to monitor his movements as he met up with a 55-year-old man and together they drove to a residence in Dayton. The officers then conducted a traffic stop and reportedly found more methylamphetamine in their possession.
A subsequent search of the home revealed a significant amount of cash, totaling $50,000. The authorities suspect that this money was obtained through illegal drug activities. As a result, both the 76-year-old and 55-year-old were taken into custody and charged with drug offenses.
In addition to the drug charges, the 76-year-old was specifically charged with possessing a trafficable amount of methylamphetamine with the intent to sell or supply. He is scheduled to appear in Perth Magistrates Court on November 7. The 55-year-old, on the other hand, faces multiple charges including possessing a trafficable amount of methylamphetamine, dealing with proceeds of a crime, and supplying a prohibited drug. He is expected to appear in court on December 5.
This is not the first time that the police have cracked down on illegal drug activities. In a separate incident, they uncovered a stash of 3D-printed guns during a raid on an alleged crime figure. It is clear that the authorities are actively working to combat the distribution of drugs and other illegal activities in the community.
