A 48-year-old man was arrested at the Inverell property and taken to Inverell Police Station, where he was charged with 12 counts of supplying a prohibited drug (less than a small quantity), one count of supplying a prohibited drug (more than a small quantity and less than an indictable quantity), possessing a prohibited drug, dealing with property suspected of being the proceeds of crime, and failing to have approved storage as the holder of a Category A or B firearms licence.
