South Australian police uncover drug lab found near Meadows A CLANDESTINE drug laboratory has been uncovered by police at Green Hills Range, near Meadows. About 7.30pm, police moved in on the property and located the laboratory in a large shed. Other equipment, allegedly used in the manufacturing of illicit drugs, was also found in the house. A Green Hills Range man, 42, and a Park Holme man, 43, were both arrested and charged with manufacturing a commercial quantity of a controlled drug and possessing a prescribed precursor with intent to manufacture. Both men were refused police bail and are expected to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today. Detective Chief Inspector Craig Patterson, Officer in Charge of the Drug Investigation Branch said shutting down a clandestine laboratory such as this will cause a significant disruption to the drug syndicate. "Any opportunity to disrupt and dismantle the production of illicit drugs and put those who cause harm through the production of illicit drugs out of business is a great result," he said. It is still a concern to us that, despite all the warnings and extreme dangers of operating clandestine drug laboratories, people still engage in this highly dangerous practice. Police ask anyone with information that may assist to identify people or premises involved in the manufacturing of illicit drugs to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.sa.crimestoppers.com.au
