A man is due to face court today (Wednesday 2 August 2023) after police raided an unauthorised drug rehabilitation facility at Swan Bay.
Port Stephens Police and officers from the Raptor squad arrived at the facility at about 8.30am on Tuesday to conduct a Firearms Prohibition Order compliance check and noticed a man running from the premises.
He was quickly apprehended and searched, with police allegedly finding him in possession of drugs, luxury watches and more than $14,000 in cash.
A further search of the facility allegedly uncovered more drugs and mobile phones.
The 41-year-old man has been charged with drug offences and dealing in the proceeds of crime and refused bail to face Newcastle Local Court today.
