Police seize big haul of drugs

South Hedland Police made one of the biggest drug busts for the year last night, seizing more than 23 grams of methamphetamine.

The drugs are estimated to have a total street value of between $12,000 and $15,000.

Senior Constable Lee Burgess said the drugs were discovered after a search warrant was conducted at a South Hedland house.

"Police went to an address to conduct a warrant looking for stolen property and as a result we identified the drugs stashed beneath the mattress," he said.

Police said the location where the drugs were found was particularly concerning as it was close to a local high school.

Two South Hedland men, aged 27 and 31, have been charged with possessing a prohibited drug with intent to sell or supply and possessing stolen property.

The men will appear in court on November 3.
