An Ari­ma man is set to ap­pear be­fore a Mag­is­trate to­day, to an­swer to sev­er­al charges in­clud­ing drug traf­fick­ing.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, on Sep­tem­ber 19, 2024, of­fi­cers from the East­ern Di­vi­sion Gang In­tel­li­gence Unit (EDG­IU) and the Spe­cial In­ves­ti­ga­tions Unit (SIU) ob­tained in­for­ma­tion that led to their in­ter­cep­tion of a ve­hi­cle at the in­ter­sec­tion of the Va­len­cia and To­co Main Roads.

Up­on search­ing the ve­hi­cle and the dri­ver, the of­fi­cers dis­cov­ered pack­ages con­tain­ing 220 kilo­grams of cannabis.

The sus­pect sub­se­quent­ly was charged with sev­er­al of­fens­es: traf­fick­ing cannabis, fail­ure to pro­duce a dri­ver's per­mit, dri­ving with­out a valid cer­tifi­cate of in­sur­ance, and us­ing a ve­hi­cle with­out the own­er's con­sent.
