A 55 year old man from Pearce’s Creek has been arrested and charged with numerous drug related offences after a police raid on his home yesterday.
Officers from the Richmond Local Area Command searched the property in Alstonville, allegedly seizing a replica pistol and a large haul of marijuana.
Police also claim they discovered over $221 000 worth of hydroponic cannabis, located in six rooms.
“This is the latest in a number of search warrants our drug unit and target action group have been doing to target the local supply of illicit drugs.”
The man will also have to answer charges relating to the stealing of un-metered electricity.
He’s been released on bail and will re-appear in Lismore Local Court on the 4th of July.
