Man admits to drug running

A man has pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court to his involvement in one the Northern Territory's biggest interstate drug-running operations.

Leonard Robert McKay is charged with two counts of supplying a commercial quantity of cannabis worth an estimated $150,000.

He was arrested in January near Noonamah, after driving from South Australia.

The court was told McKay was supplying 10 pounds of cannabis to two men in Darwin.

McKay will be sentenced tomorrow.
