CASEY Highway Patrol apprehended two drug traffickers with the help of the new BlueNet detection vehicles.
The Highway Patrol officers were on duty on High Street, Cranbourne, about 11pm on Monday 8 August when the high-tech car picked up a vehicle with a suspended registration.
The officers intercepted the white Mercedes van and found a large quantity of cannabis plants, both mature and seedlings, in the van.
The two occupants of the van, a 22-year-old male and a 40-year-old male, were charged with cultivating, trafficking and possession of a controlled substance.
Both men were remanded to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court.
