A local woman has been charged with drug trafficking and prohibited weapons have been seized following a targeted police crackdown on illicit drugs in Port Lincoln.
Port Lincoln police, supported by Dog Operations Unit members, recently wrapped up a dedicated drug detection week of action.
The operation involved executing search warrants at local residential properties alongside deploying passive drug detection (PADD) dogs across licensed premises, public transport facilities, and local businesses.
As a result of the searches, a 46-year-old Port Lincoln woman was arrested and charged with trafficking in a controlled drug.
She has been granted bail to appear in the Port Lincoln Magistrates Court on May 19, 2027.
During a separate search, officers also seized a machete and a laser pointer.
Across the week-long operation, police issued two drug diversions and five expiation notices for drug possession offences.
Investigations remain ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information regarding the manufacture, sale, or possession of illegal drugs to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestopperssa.com.au.
