Four people have been charged in a mass-crack down on drug supply in Darwin.
They include a 22 year old man who was nabbed after police were tipped off about guns brought from Queensland.
Police say he was linked to the supply of cocaine, methamphetamine and cannabis – operating out of an Alawa safe house.
A raid of this home saw police seize more than $45,000 in cash, 1.8 kilos of cannabis and 560 grams of meth.
A 65-year-old female who resides at this address and is known to the pair was arrested and conveyed to the Palmerston watch house.
Shortly after this arrest, DOCD detectives apprehended the 22-year-old male after he was located driving his Toyota Hilux on Tasman Circuit in Wagaman.
Two members attempted to open the driver’s side door when the male reversed his vehicle and then drove forward causing one member to take evasive action to avoid being struck.
He’s been charged with 12 offences alongside the two women in their 60s, expected to front court in coming weeks.
“The Northern Territory Drug and Organised Crime Division will stop at nothing to prevent these offences occurring in the Territory and we will continue to disrupt the supply and distribution of harmful substances and prohibited firearms into our community,” Detective Senior Constable Mark Bond said.
