A 23-year-old woman is to appear in the Darwin Magistrates Court next month following a search at an apartment complex in Darwin.

Senior Constable Brendon Hogan from the Drug and Organised Crime Squad said during the search of an apartment in November, Police seized a plastic juice bottle containing a clear liquid.

“Forensics testing has identified the liquid as 57.84 grams of 4-Hydroxybutanoic Acid, also known as GHB,” Senior Constable Hogan said.

“The woman was charged with possession of a trafficable quantity of a schedule 2 dangerous drug and bailed to appear in court 28 March 2013.

“GHB is quite a dangerous drug, as the core ingredient, is an industrial strength solvent.

“I urge people not to use this drug as its side effects can be deadly. The drug is extremely toxic and acts as a hallucinogenic and can lead to vomiting, unconsciousness and even, in extreme cases, death.

“The amount located in the bottle, if sold, could have a street value of up to $5,000.”
