A musclebound swimming pool business owner from the northern beaches is facing the prospect of a lengthy prison term if convicted after a two-month police probe allegedly cracked his cocaine and MDMA supply operation.

Aaron Waters, 26, was arrested as he left an underground garage in Manly on Friday, where police allegedly found cocaine, 1.3 kilograms of MDMA and $20,000 cash.

Aaron Waters was arrested after a two-month police probe.

Aaron Waters owns a pool care business in Dee Why.

Police seized $20,000 in cash.

A subsequent raid on Waters’ Collaroy Plateau home allegedly revealed knuckledusters and four expensive watches — two Rolexes and two Breitlings — which police allege were the proceeds of crime.

Waters was charged with a string of offences including large commercial drug supply, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison if proven, and knowingly deal with proceeds of crime.
