The Hamilton police drug unit seized nearly $60,000 worth of crystal methamphetamine from a Hamilton address, representing the largest ever ice bust in the Hamilton area. A man in his mid-20s was charged with trafficking and possession and was bailed to appear in court. The seizure of 56 grams of ice and other drugs such as ecstasy and speed follows a successful period for the drug unit, which had executed 41 warrants over eight months, charging over 60 people and making seizures including firearms, heroin, cocaine and cannabis plants. However, the police sergeant said drug supply remains a large problem requiring ongoing enforcement and assistance from the community to provide intelligence on dealers.
