Around 1:45am on Sunday (December 18) police conducting speed enforcement on the Bruxner Highway at Tatham detected a sedan travelling well above the speed limit.
Police followed the vehicle which took several turns before stopping in the driveway of a farm.
They say the driver, a 35-year-old Port Macquarie man, produced a cancelled driver’s licence as identification.
Believing there may be drugs in the car, police carried out a search and located $6,350 cash, four bags of methylamphetamine, five capsules of MDMA (ecstasy), masks, knives, drug paraphernalia and items linked to drug supply.
The man also had an outstanding arrest warrant.
He has been charged with: supplying a prohibited drug; dealing with the proceeds of crime; exceeding the speed by 30km/h; carrying a knife and driving on a cancelled licence as well as the outstanding warrant.
He will appear in Lismore Local Court on Monday.
