They were refused bail, expected to appear in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court today.

Detective Superintendent Stephen Taylor, the officer in charge of the Serious and Organised Crime Branch, said: “This is another great result for the Serious and Organised Crime Branch and the South Australian community, in taking these life changing drugs out of circulation,” Detective Superintendent Taylor said.

“Life will also significantly change for the two men charged with these serious drug offences, it is quite simply not with the risk.”
