It’s MardiGrass!

This year is Nimbins 32nd annual MardiGrass and you’d reckon by now ‘weed’ be left alone. The same helicopter raids, the disgusting, and completely unfair, saliva testing of drivers, and we’re still not allowed to grow our own plants. We can all access legal buds via a doctor, most of it imported from Canada, but we can’t grow our own. There’s something very wrong there.

In February 2020, officers attached to Richmond Police District established Strike Force Braunbeck to investigate the supply of methylamphetamine in the Ballina area.

Following extensive inquiries, police executed a search warrant at a home on Treelands Crescent about 7.30pm on (Wednesday, 25 March, 2020) where they arrested a 47-year-old man.

During the search warrant, police located and seized jewellery, bikes, power tools and watches – all alleged to be stolen property.

Police also seized methylamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

The man was taken to Ballina Police Station and charged with 47 offences including supply prohibited drug on an ongoing basis, supply prohibited drug, goods in custody and fail to comply with reporting obligations.

He was refused bail to face Ballina Local Court yesterday (Thursday, 26 March, 2020).

Investigations are continuing.
