Smoke leads Vic cops to 100kg pot stash

A Melbourne driver has been undone by a strong, suspicious smell - with police following their nose to find 100 kilograms of cannabis stashed in the man's car.

Two police officers on motorbikes were patrolling in banked up traffic in Melbourne's northwest on Thursday when they noticed a strange smell in the air, leading them to a ute driven by a 47-year-old man.

He was subsequently charged with a range of offences, including possessing a commercial quantity of cannabis, after the cannabis and a Taser were found in his vehicle.
