Detectives with the Lake Macquarie Police District began their inquiries in March, focusing on methylamphetamine and GHB supply in Warners Bay and nearby suburbs.

Detectives executed a search warrant at a home on Yorston Street in Warners Bay, about 1pm on Tuesday, where they spoke with and arrested a 40-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman.

During the search, police located and seized methylamphetamine, cannabis leaf, vials of steroids, GHB, buprenorphine strips, and other drug paraphernalia. 

The man and woman were taken to Belmont Police Station. 

The man was charged with eight offences, relating to drug supply, drug possession, and allowing the property to be used as a drug premises, and will appear in court on Wednesday.

The woman was issued with a field court attendance notice for the offence of drug possession, and is due to appear at Belmont Local Court next Friday.
