A Sellicks Beach man will face court after he was found in possession of methamphetamine, prescription drugs and a baton.


Just before 8pm, on Thursday 29 April, police were called to the Seaford Shopping Centre on Commercial Road, after a man was seen carrying an extendible baton.


A short time later police patrols located the man in the car-park.  On speaking with him he was found in possession of the baton which is classified as a prohibited weapon. He was also found to have a quantity of methamphetamine, a prescription drug and two firecrackers.


 


The 20-year-old man was arrested and charged with trafficking a controlled drug, possession of a prohibited weapon and unlawful possession of a prescription drug.  The man was also issued with a 'on the spot fine'  for possession of the fireworks.


A 19-year-old man from Aldinga Beach who was in company with the arrested man was reported possessing a prohibited weapon after he was also found in possession of torch which was also a taser.


Both men will appear in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court at a later date.
