Melbourne duo in court over drug haul

A Melbourne man and woman have faced court after police seized five types of illegal drugs and multiple weapons from their Southbank apartment.

Cain Quah, 30, and Ruby Lin, 26, are each facing 18 charges and appeared in court on Thursday after their home was raided a day earlier.

The pair are accused of trafficking cocaine and ecstasy, as well as a commercial quantity of methamphetamine.

They're also charged with possession of those three drugs as well as GHB and heroin.

A number of weapons were also seized including a handgun, two butterfly knifes, an extendable baton and bronze knuckledusters.

Neither applied for bail in Melbourne Magistrates Court, but Lin's lawyer indicated she would make an application on January 18.

It is her first time in custody and she has substance-abuse issues, asthma and anxiety, her lawyer said.

Quah, who is withdrawing from substance use, is due back in court on March 25.
