During the search, police allegedly located and seized cannabis, methylamphetamine, MDMA, cash, prescribed restricted substances and items associated with the supply of prohibited drugs.
The man was arrested, taken to Tweed Heads Police Station, was refused bail and will appear before Tweed Heads Local Court today to face charges of supplying prohibited drugs greater than indictable quantity, possessing prohibited drugs, possessing prescribed restricted substance, and dealing with the proceeds of crime.
