At around 5:30pm on Saturday, February 13 officers from the Gang Squad’s Strike Force Raptor stopped a north-bound car on the M1 at Mount White.

Police searched the vehicle and allegedly located an additional 26.2kg of cannabis in the car’s boot. The woman was taken to Gosford Police Station where she was charged with supplying a prohibited drug greater than a commercial quantity and possessing a prohibited drug.
