Laidley police charge four people after drug raids - Toowoomba Chronicle


POLICE raids in the Laidley area have netted four people on a series of drug charges.


Laidley police officer-in-charge Senior Sergeant Jim McDonald said the most recent arrest netted two men in possession of a cannabis growing set up.


He said a raid on a Summerholm property on Monday resulted in police finding a production material, including light boxes.


"They had been propagating seeds," Snr Sgt McDonald said.


A 22-year-old Summerholm man and a 23-year-old Summerholm man were charged with producing dangerous drugs and possessing implements for drug manufacture.


Snr Sgt McDonald said it came after police on Saturday raided a 20-year-old Laidley woman's home to find cannabis and a bong.


He said some white powder, believed to be amphetamine, was also recovered.


A 30-year-old Laidley man was also charged for possession of cannabis as well as a bong during a separate raid on his home on Thursday.


Snr Sgt McDonald said the raids were the result of tip-offs from the public.


"We appreciate information from members of the public."
