Three people have been arrested following state-wide New South Wales Police investigations into the supply of drugs in Moree.
Around 6am yesterday, Strike Force Bullshark officers executed search warrants at homes on Chester, Anne, Dover, and Edward Street in Moree.
A 30-year-old man was arrested at a home on Chestnut Crescent, Bidwell, and was taken to Mount Druitt Police Station where he was charged with 90 counts of drug supply-related offences.
He was refused bail.
During a search of a home on Chester Street, Moree, police arrested a 21-year-old man and he was taken to Moree Police Station.
He was charged and refused bail.
A 49-year-old woman was arrested at a home on Edward Street, Moree, after she drank a substance from a bottle and attempted to destroy the label, during the search of the home.
The woman was taken to Moree Police Station and charged with a number of offences.
She was given conditional bail.
They seized more than $10,000 in cash, as well as cannabis, methylamphetamine, ammunition, knuckle dusters, knives and motorbikes.
New England Police District, Officer in Charge, Detective Inspector Greg Ryan, said local police will continue to target prohibited drug supply.
“The harm caused by these prohibited substances to local communities cannot be understated,” he said.
“Police work with the community to proactively pursue anyone suspected of supplying prohibited drugs and disrupt the associated criminal activities which impact on the people of Moree,” Insp Ryan said.
