A couple is facing multiple drug charges after being busted with a variety of drugs and paraphernalia during a routine traffic stop.
Shift manager, Acting Senior Sergeant Dale Smith of Hamilton police, said the car was stopped on Avalon Dr shortly before 1am.
"Our staff identified the male driver as
being in breach of his release conditions and then decided the man had parked the car in an unsafe place. Asking the female passenger to step out of the car so it could be moved, one sharp-eyed constable noticed a point bag on the passenger's seat.
"This was sufficient to commence a search under the Search and Surveillance Act and, a short time later, a small container containing about 4.9g of methamphetamine was found hidden in the woman's shoe."
Mr Smith said as the search continued other drugs and paraphernalia were recovered.
