AN accused drug dealer allegedly running a one-stop-shop out of houses at Windale and Gateshead was found with $150,000 worth of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, MDMA and cannabis, police say.
Daniel Lee Connors, 43, did not apply for bail in Belmont Local Court on Thursday, a day after he was arrested at Gateshead and charged with 37 offences, including supplying a commercial quantity of methamphetamine and dealing with the proceeds of crime.
Mr Connors did not enter any pleas and the matter was adjourned to Newcastle Local Court on August 29.
Police say they formed Strike Force Picatinny to investigate the supply of drugs in Lake Macquarie in February and, after extensive investigations, raided two properties at Windale and Gateshead on Wednesday.
Police allegedly discovered a stash of illegal drugs, including "commercial quantities" of methamphetamine, or ice.
Other quantities of cocaine, heroin, MDMA and cannabis were also uncovered, according to police.
"The seized drugs have a combined street value of $150,000," a NSW Police spokesperson said.
Police claim cash and other items were also found and seized, which police allege were proceeds of crime.
Mr Connors was arrested near the Gateshead property and later charged with 32 counts of supplying a prohibited drug, three counts of possessing a prohibited drug and two counts of dealing with the proceeds of crime.
