Two WA men charged over 1.3kg of drugs

Two WA men, aged 49 and 59, have been charged after police allegedly seized about 1.3kg of methylamphetamine from two vehicles.

Two men have been charged with drug offences after West Australian police seized about 1.3kg of methylamphetamine hidden in two vehicles.

Detectives had been investigating the supply of illicit drugs to the Kimberley and Pilbara regions, and allege the men drove to Perth this month to take delivery of the drugs.

Police believe the drugs were destined for distribution in those regions.

A 49-year-old man from Broome and a 59-year-old man from Port Hedland were arrested in Perth on Monday.

Both have been charged with possession of a prohibited drug with intent to sell or supply.

They will appear in the Perth Magistrates Court later on Tuesday.
