Drugs, ammunition, cash and property seized following search warrant

Members of ACT Policing’s Targeting Team and City Response Teams executed a search warrant at a residence in Canberra City yesterday (30 August), as part of an ongoing investigation.

Police seized ammunition, a sum of cash and a significant amount of suspected stolen property from the residence. Drugs suspected to be cannabis, cocaine and anabolic steroids were also seized during the warrant.

A 33-year old Canberra man was arrested at the residence and conveyed to the ACT Watch House. He will face the ACT Magistrates Court at a later date charged with property, firearms and drug offences.

Officer in Charge Tuggeranong Police Station, Station Sergeant Chris Meagher said this outcome was the result of police focussing on targeting recidivist offenders.

“This is a good result for police, but also serves as a reminder that any information, particularly from the community, is essential to police investigations” Station Sergeant Chris Meagher said.
