IT WAS a busy night for the Kingaroy Police on Wednesday with two different people charged with drug related offences in the space of 40 minutes.
On Wednesday, April 29 at 11.20pm police intercepted a Hyundai station wagon on Kingaroy St.

Officer in charge of Kingaroy Police Station senior sergeant David Tierney said a search of the vehicle located a 32-year-old Kingaroy man in possession of marijuana and drug utensils.

“The man will appear in the Kingaroy Magistrates Court on Monday, August 3 for the alleged possession of a dangerous drug and drug utensils,” he said.

Police also intercepted a Holden sedan on Haly St that same evening at midnight.
“The driver was a 55-year-old Kingaroy woman and she returned a positive sample to a roadside breath test,” Sgt Tierney said.

“The woman will appear in the Kingaroy Magistrates Court on Monday, July 27, for allegedly driving with a relevant drug possession.”
