Australia: Six charged in NSW drug bust

New South Wales police have charged six people in the Great Lakes area on the state's mid-north coast with a range of drug offences after seizing drugs worth $120,000.

Officers raided homes in Forster, Tuncurry and Nabiac and seized amphetamines valued at $85,000, cannabis valued at $35,000 and $35,000 in cash.

Two men and two women are expected to appear in court later today, while another two men have been granted bail and will appear in court in June.

In a separate seizure, police found more than one kilogram of cannabis in a backpack after stopping a motorist at Lake Haven on the central coast last night.

A 30-year-old man was charged and will appear in court later today.
