Two people were arrested for drug trafficking after a traffic stop at Port Augusta yesterday afternoon.
About 3.45pm on Tuesday 11 February, police pulled over a vehicle on Elsie Street, Port Augusta.
Officers instructed the occupants to exit the car, as it was about to be searched. The front passenger was allegedly seen removing an item from her handbag and throwing it underneath the vehicle.
The car was searched and the item, a cloth zip-up bag, was retrieved from under the car. It will be alleged the bag contained approximately 20 grams of suspected methamphetamine, scales, cash and other items.
A 28-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man, both from Port Augusta, were arrested and charged with trafficking in a controlled drug.
They were bailed to appear in the Port Augusta Magistrates Court on 31 March.
