The man was taken to Raymond Terrace Police Station where he was charged with supply a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug, and possession of a prohibited drug.

He was refused bail to front Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday.

In October last year, Strike Force Megig was established by the Hunter Regional Enforcement Squad (RES) to investigate the supply of illicit drugs in the Newcastle and Hunter regions.

The man’s arrest followed inquiries by Hunter RES, assisted by officers from Operations Utah and Port Stephens-Hunter Police.
