Raptor Squad North detectives have charged three people in the Hunter with drug supply and police pursuit offences.
Earlier this year, detectives commenced an investigation into the supply of prohibited drugs and firearms in the region.
Following extensive inquiries, at about 9:20am yesterday, police executed a search warrant at a home at Kurri Kurri, where they seized methylamphetamine and thousands of dollars in cash.
Two women aged 28 and 23 were arrested.
A short time later, police attempted to talk to a 24-year-old man on Groves Road at Bennetts Green, however he allegedly fled the scene in a car.
Two short pursuits were initiated in the Lake Macquarie area before they were terminated due to safety concerns.
The man was surrounded and arrested a short time later at a property in Edgeworth, where police seized knuckle dusters and a small amount of illegal drugs.
All three offenders were refused bail to appear in court today.
