The man was arrested and charged with trafficking in a controlled drug, cultivating cannabis, possession of prescribed equipment, money laundering and diverting electricity.

He was bailed to appear at the Christies Beach Magistrates Court at a later date.

The man’s arrest comes days after an Adelaide Hills couple was arrested after cannabis plants, dried cannabis and cash were found at a Meadows property.

A 32-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man were arrested and bailed to appear in the Mount Barker Magistrates Court in October.
