A man will appear in court today after methylamphetamine, prescription drugs, cash and mobile phones were seized after a vehicle stop at Nimbin in the early hours of the morning (Monday November 19).

Officers from Richmond Police District stopped the vehicle after the driver was seen allegedly speeding through Nimbin about 1.30am.

The 34-year-old Girards Hill man was arrested after a positive roadside drug test.

Police searched the vehicle, seizing methylamphetamine (ice), $9,220 cash, two mobile phones, a set of scales, two bottles containing testosterone, and packets of prescription medication.

The man was taken to Lismore Police Station where he was charged with supplying a prohibited drug, possessing a prescribed restricted substance, dealing with proceeds of crime and possessing equipment for administering prohibited drugs.

He has been refused bail to appear in Lismore Local Court later today.

  1. ICE.
    The most evil , destructive drug to ever come along.
    Just don’t try or do it, it’s really really not worth it.
    Studies have shown for each person who uses ,at least
    five others are directly effected e.g. family,friends,neighbors etc.
    If you want to become insane take ice. The mental health clinics
    are being overwhelmed with ice casualties.
