Noam Sydney Field: Acupuncture clinic owner charged after 3.5kg of MDMA and $470K cash found

An eastern suburbs acupuncture clinic has had a restraining order slapped on it after the owner was snared in a major drug take-down.

An eastern suburbs acupuncture clinic has had a restraining order slapped on it by the state’s peak criminal intelligence agency after its owner was snared in a major drug take-down.

Noam Sydney Field — an accomplished acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner — was the owner of Wholistic Natural Medicine on Anzac Pde at Kingsford when he was arrested at North Bondi on July 29.

Field was charged with large commercial drug supply and 20 other alleged offences in relation to 3.5kg of MDMA and more than $470,000 cash found by police for the Redfern Regional Enforcement Squad.

Acupuncturist Noam Field was arrested in a July drug operation in Sydney's east and a restraining order has been placed on his clinic.

He remains behind bars on remand and is yet to enter pleas to any of the charges.

In the meantime, the NSW Crime Commission has begun court proceedings to try to seize any assets belonging to Field which they believe constitute the proceeds of crime.

NSW Supreme Court documents show the commission successfully had a restraining order placed on Noam Field Natural Medicine, the parent company of the clinic on Anzac Pde.

He can only sell the clinic at a price that is agreed to by the commission. Any profit must be held by the NSW Trustee and Guardian.

The same deal goes for Field’s 2009 Lexus.

The clinic’s website, which disappeared last week, included an image of the 40-year-old delicately needling the back of a female patient.

Field’s business held the lease on the Anzac Pde business premises and other practitioners rented rooms from him. One of this tenants told The Daily Telegraph they were still treating clients there.

One practitioner, who did not want to be named, said the tenants were not aware of or associated with any of the matters that surrounded Field’s arrest.

Police allege a safety vault rented in Field’s name on Castlereagh Street in the city had $278,000 cash in it and that there was another $189,300 found in a garage at Bondi Beach.

Field was one of 15 people arrested in a massive 11-raid exercise by police across the eastern suburbs in July, titled Strike Force Caladenia.
