Major Drug Bust At Charlestown

By IAN CROUCH

 A man is facing serious drug supply charges after $100,000 worth of Cocaine was allegedly found in his car at Charlestown.

Police pulled over a car for a routine traffic stop on Dudley Road yesterday afternoon and spoke to the 30-year-old driver before search him and his car.

It's alleged the officer found less than 500 grams of a white powdered substance which they believed to be Cocaine.

The man was taken to Belmont Police Station where he was charged with deemed supply of a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug.

He's been refused bail and is due to face Newcastle Local Court today.
