Charges laid after tri-state drugs operation

A year-long police operation involving officers from three states has led to the arrests of two men on drugs charges.

Officers from the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia were involved in the operation intended to clear Indigenous communities of illicit drugs.

The men aged 38 and 37 have been charged with a variety of offences including selling cannabis.

They will face Marla Magistrates Court in October.

Operations in the cross-border areas are continuing and more arrests are expected.
