Northern Territory Police have seized a large quantity of cannabis and alcohol destined for a remote community in the East Arnhem Region.

Yesterday afternoon, local police were conducting routine screening of an incoming flight from Cairns.

During the screening, police located four bottles of 700ml spirits and 1.2 kilograms of cannabis.

Four people, aged between 27 and 41, were issued with a Notice to Appear for drug offences and will appear before court on 31 January 2023.

One of the offenders was also arrested for an outstanding warrant. He was charged with breach of bail and bring liquor into a restricted area.

Senior Sergeant David Hamlyn said “This is fantastic work by local members, who continue to proactively disrupt the supply of illicit substances into vulnerable communities.

“Anyone with information on the supply of alcohol or drugs to our communities can call police on 131 444 or make an anonymous report to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”
