A man stopped by police for using his mobile phone while driving in central Sydney has been allegedly caught with $1.2 million of methamphetamine in his 4WD.

Police say they found over 3kg of methamphetamine when they searched the vehicle after stopping it in Haymarket on Friday to speak to the 26-year-old driver about using his mobile phone.

The man was arrested and charged with commercial drug supply, dealing with proceeds of crime, and traffic-related offences. He was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.
