Tip-off leads to drug trafficking arrest

A tip-off has led police to arrest a Murray Bridge man for trafficking methamphetamine, fantasy and cannabis.

Officers and drug detection dogs visited a property on Burdekin Avenue around 9pm last Tuesday.

Nobody was present when they arrived, but they allegedly found the drugs, digital scales, a number of deal bags and $3500 in cash.

Police reported a 47-year-old Murray Bridge man the next day.

He will face the local magistrates' court over the matter.

Police urge anyone with information about the manufacture, sale or possession of illegal drugs to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestopperssa.com.au, anonymously if necessary.

Paint job was a giveaway

Police have arrested a Murray Bridge man for allegedly riding a stolen motorbike.

A patrol allegedly spotted the 22-year-old riding the Honda dirt bike, which did not have numberplates attached, on Hawke Road around 11.20am last Monday.

They followed him to a block of units.

According to police, a licence check revealed he had been disqualified from driving, and a check on the bike showed it had been stolen in Adelaide on April 26.

The man was charged with unlawful possession and illegal use of the motorbike, driving while disqualified and failing to display numberplates.

Anyone with more information about the theft should  contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestopperssa.com.au, anonymously if necessary.
