A South Australian man who is alleged to have transported a commercial quantity of cannabis to Central Australia, will appear before court later this month.

On Monday 7 December 2020 a 27-year-old man in Adelaide was extradited to Alice Springs where he appeared in court on the following charges;

• Possess schedule 2 dangerous drug - commercial quantity
• Supply schedule 2 dangerous drug - commercial quantity

The man was remanded in custody and will reappear before court on 18 December 2020.
