Man arrested at Sydney Airpor

tMAN en route to Lebanon has been arrested at Sydney Airport and charged with the commercial supply of ecstasy and the psychedelic drug Nexus. A strike force of officers from the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad was formed in May to investigate a drug supply ring. That month they seized 2.4 kilograms of ecstasy and 800 grams of Nexus, also known as Bees, after raiding homes at West Pennant Hills and Beecroft in Sydney's northwest. The drugs have an estimated potential street value of $375,000. One man was arrested at Beecroft and he remains before the court, police said. Just after 9.30pm (AEST) on Saturday another man was arrested after boarding a flight in Sydney headed for Lebanon. Police also seized $9000 in cash. The 30-year-old man was released into the custody of NSW police before being charged with two counts of supplying a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug and dealing with the proceeds of crime. He faced Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday and was remanded in custody to reappear at Central Local Court on August 16. Police said further arrests were anticipated.
