A 23-year-old Bonner man, who had a good behaviour order for other offences, has been charged with drug trafficking in Gungahlin overnight.
About 7:50pm last night (Tuesday, 25 November 2025), general duty officers from Gungahlin Police Station observed several individuals approaching a green Toyota Camry sedan parked in the Gungahlin College basketball courts car park.
A short time later, police spoke to three male occupants in the sedan before they exited the vehicle and left the area.
About 8:10pm, police stopped the three men on the footpath on Ernest Cavanagh Street in Gungahlin.
Using emergency search powers, officers searched a 23-year-old man, locating a plastic bag containing what was suspected to be approximately 37 grams of cocaine, subsequently arresting him.
Soon after, officers conducted a search warrant on the Toyota Camry. Police seized a prohibited flick knife, meat cleaver, 18 small bags and one large bag containing green vegetable matter, suspected to be cannabis.
The 23-year-old man – who was subject to good behaviour obligations at the time of the offending – was charged with drug trafficking. He is expected to face the ACT Magistrates Court today (Wednesday, 26 November 2025).
Enquiries are continuing, with further charges expected to be laid.
Anyone who has information about the manufacture, distribution or sale of illicit substances in the community is urged to contact Crime Stoppers via the Crime Stoppers ACT website, or on 1800 333 000. Information can be provided anonymously.
