An Adelaide Hills drug dealer caught with hundreds of MDMA tablets and equipment in a significant bust has confessed to the crime.

A drug dealer found with hundreds of MDMA tablets in a drug raid now faces potential jail time after admitting to the crime.

Oscar Jack Suursaar, 22, pleaded guilty in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday to one count of drug trafficking.

As a result, three other counts of drug trafficking were not proceeded with.

Detectives from Serious & Organised Crime branch went to an address in Cherry Gardens on September 5, following an investigation into MDMA, also known as ecstasy.

Police found a manual pill press machine, several punches/dies, binding agents, various items used in the tableting of ecstasy, 50 grams of MDMA crystals and over 300 pressed ecstasy tablets.

Suursaar, of Cherry Gardens, now faces a maximum fine of $50,000 and/or 10 years imprisonment.

At the time, officer in charge of serious and organised crime branch, Detective superintendent Billy Thompson said speaking of police operations generally that backyard operators were not chemists and their activity placed users at extreme risk.

“This seizure demonstrates that detectives from Serious & Organised Crime Branch will continue to pursue those responsible for trafficking harmful drugs,” he said.

On Tuesday, Chief Magistrate Judge Mary-Louise Hribal committed Suursaar to the District Court for arraignment in June.
