Men charged with stashing drugs, weapons, balaclavas in car during Adelaide traffic stop

Two men have been charged over drugs, cash and weapons in a car found during a police traffic stop in Adelaide last weekend.

Just after 11pm last Saturday, officers stopped a Mercedes sedan when it was spotted running a red light and conducting a U-turn at traffic lights on Bridge Road, in the north-east suburb of Walkley Heights.

The driver underwent a drug test and returned a positive result for cocaine and methamphetamine.

Police searched the car and allegedly found 39 MDMA tablets, 15g of Ketamine, steroids, about $3000 cash, balaclavas, a set of knuckle dusters, and three knives.

The 22-year-old driver from Gumeracha, and his passenger, an 18-year-old from Freeling, were arrested and charged with several offences including trafficking a controlled drug, possessing a prohibited weapon, possessing an article of disguise and possessing prescription drugs.

Both men were granted bail and are due to front court in January.

A fine was also issued to the driver for traffic offences, and police say he may face further charges following forensic analysis of the drug test.
