Police raids net cannabis find

Police in central Australia say they have found about $75,000 worth of cannabis in two separate raids in Alice Springs.

Police say they found $50,000 worth of the drug at a home this week.

A 30-year-old man was arrested during the raid.

He has been charged with possessing and supplying a commercial quantity of cannabis.

The man has been released on bail and is due to appear in court at the end of the month.

Last week, police arrested a 35-year-old man during a raid of his home in Gillen, where they allege they found almost 500 grams of cannabis.
