SYDNEY: Police have seized drugs believed to be bound for the Stereosonic music festival in Adelaide this weekend.
Authorities discovered 500 grams of methamphetamine hidden in a vacuum cleaner at a Prospect home in Adelaide’s inner north.
A 25-year-old has been charged with trafficking in a commercial quantity of a controlled drug and refused bail.
The arrest came as police warned revellers not to consume illicit drugs at the music festival being held at Bonython Park.
Superintendent John De Candia said sniffer dogs would be patrolling the site before and throughout the event.
“If you want to be 100 per cent safe, then don’t take the illicit drugs,” he said.
“Have that conversation with your mum and dad, and your friends Sunday morning, that you had a great time, and that you’re home safely, and they’re not thinking about writing an obituary in next week’s paper.”
Last weekend a 22-year-old woman died from a drug overdose at the Stereosonic event in Sydney.
This weekend’s event is expected to attract about 15,000 revellers.
