Broome woman allegedly caught with more than half a kilogram of methylamphetamine charged with trafficking
At 2.15pm on July 16, the woman was stopped by police while driving a Hyundai Veloster on Great Northern Highway towards Broome.
During a search of the car police allegedly found more than 655g of meth along with a further 11g hidden in various locations including a tobacco pouch, plastic container and clip seal bag.
A quantity of cash in a brown paper bag was allegedly found in the vehicle's console while a review of the woman's phone allegedly indicated she was selling drugs.
Kimberley Superintendent John Hutchison said police would continue to target people bringing illegal drugs into the region.
'Illicit drugs hurt people and communities,' he said.
'A seizure of this size means a significant quantity of methylamphetamine won't be reaching our streets or have that devastating impact.
'Police will continue to target drug dealers in the community and to make those engaged in this type of behaviour accountable for their actions — if you get caught with large quantities of these types of drugs you face the prospect of going to jail.
'I want to take this opportunity to thank people who report drug activities and assure them that we will do everything we can and use every resource we have, to identify those involved in this illegal activity.'
The woman from Djugun was arrested and charged with one count of possessed a trafficable quantity of meth with Intent to sell, one count of possessing meth, one count of possessing cannabis, one count of possessing drug paraphernalia and one count of no authority to drive.
She appeared before the Broome Magistrates Court on July 17 and was remanded in custody to reappear on August 25.

Looks legit! Driver busted for shonky cardboard number plates
These "number plates" sure don't pass the sniff test. A Hyundai Veloster driver was pulled over by Bankstown Highway Patrol officers on July 4, 2025 for having hand-made cardboard number plates on their vehicle, according to the NSW Police Force's Traffic and Highway Patrol Command Facebook account. Not only was the 32-year-old driver using illegitimate plates, she had recently had her driver's licence suspended for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h, which had led to her real number plates being confiscated for three months.

"But I had to drive to go see my friend," she allegedly told officers when explaining why she made the fake plates, which quite frankly weren't fooling anyone.
