Cannabis bust made at Tungkillo

A Tungkillo man will face court after police allegedly found almost $100,000 worth of cannabis at his house.

Officers from Murray Bridge visited the 55-year-old's property at 2pm on April 25.

They say they found nine large plants, worth $4500, and 32 garbage bags full of dried cannabis, with a street value of $96,000.

Police formally arrested the man on May 1 and charged him with drug cultivation and trafficking.

He was allowed out on bail and will face Adelaide Magistrates Court on July 1.

Playground thieves strike again

For the second time in a month, thieves have made off with a piece of playground equipment in Murray Bridge.

A "bird's nest" swing, similar to the one pictured above, was stolen from the nature play space at War Memorial Park, on Mannum Road, sometime between March 5 and April 22.

The playground, like all others in the district, had been closed from March 31 to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

A slippery-dip had previously been stolen from Unity College on April 2.
