Northern Territory Police have charged a 41-year-old man with multiple drug and traffic offences following the execution of a search warrant in Tiwi yesterday.

Acting Senior Sergeant Mark Bland said the man was subject to a traffic apprehension in Palmerston last week, which he fled from.

Detectives later attended a residence in Tiwi, where the man was arrested.

“A search warrant was conducted, during which Police uncovered a significant amount of stolen goods,” Acting Senior Sergeant Bland said.

“A container of 500g of cannabis was also found buried in the back yard. Detectives also seized more than $3,000 cash, which Police will allege is from the distribution of dangerous drugs.”

The man was charged with:

• Unlawfully possess property (x4)
• Possess schedule 2 drug commercial quantity
• Supply schedule 2 drug less than commercial
• Receive or possess property from commission of offence
• Traffic offences (x3)

He was remanded to appear in Darwin Local Court today.
