Drug trafficking arrest

An early morning intercept on Wednesday resulted in the arrest of a Traralgon man and woman for drug offences.
A police night shift patrol crew saw a 2006 Toyota Prado driving around North Rd, Warragul at 1:30am.
Police said the car was intercepted in Albert Rd. A 29-year-old man and 41-year-old woman were inside.
Police said based on the occupants' nervous behaviour and inability to provide a reason for driving around in the early hours of the morning, police conducted a search of the vehicle.
A significant amount of drugs and weapons were allegedly found in the vehicle, including: three vials containing 45ml of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) in the centre console; a small quantity of methamphetamine in the sunglasses compartment; a quantity of heroin in a handbag in the car; ecstasy; a significant amount of prescription medications; a knife and a tomahawk; and a brass table leg fashioned into a makeshift bat. The offenders' phones were seized and allegedly contained messages related to drug trafficking.
The offenders were charged with trafficking GHB and four counts of possessing a drug of dependency. They were bailed to appear at Latrobe Valley Magistrates' Court in August.
