“It was a response to a triple-0 call that has turned into a drug investigation,” Sergeant Thompson said.
“There were exhibits seized from the scene and they will be forensically tested.”
At the time of publishing both alleged offenders were being questioned by police and Sergeant Thompson said the incident was part of an ongoing investigation.
