Man Charged With Drug Offences After Vehicle Stop At Cessnock

 BY IAN CROUCH

Cessnock Police found more than they bargained  for when they pulled over a Holden Commodore for a random breath test in Aberdare Street on Saturday.

They say the 36-year-old man behind the wheel was disqualified from driving, while a roadside drug test came back positive for the drug ICE.

A search of the car allegedly uncovered cannabis, 100 litres of fertiliser, electrical equipment and powered globes.

They also found a number of safety breaches and issued a defect notice on the car.

The man's been charged with driving while disqualified, drug offences and goods in custody.
