The bust included the seizure of a pill press, the first seized by ACT Policing in more than a decade.
ACT Policing’s Criminal Investigations detectives searched a Latham home about 3.20pm on Monday, finding about 1.5 kilograms and 250 gel caps of a white powder suspected to be MDMA.
Detectives also found 120 grams of a substance suspected to be methylamphetamine, several items of drug paraphernalia and other items relating to the sale and supply of illicit drugs, including a manual pill press. Three vehicles, valued at about $100,000 were also seized, amid suspicions they were used in the sale of illicit drugs.
ACT Policing said the drug bust is one of the largest single seizures of MDMA in the capital.
The 27-year-old Latham resident was taken to the ACT Watch House, where he was charged with several drug-related offences. He is expected to face the ACT Magistrates Court later today.
