A Griffith woman has been refused bail after police allegedly found methamphetamine and an imitation firearm during an early morning patrol.
While patrolling Wakaden Street about 3:30 am on Sunday (5 July), police allege they saw a 36-year-old woman standing on the footpath at the intersection of Crossing Street, attempting to hide behind a telegraph pole.
After speaking with the woman, police searched her backpack and allegedly found 0.55 grams of methamphetamine.
A further search allegedly uncovered an imitation firearm tucked into the waistband of her pants.
The woman was arrested and taken to Griffith Police Station, where she was charged with possessing a prohibited drug and possessing an unregistered, unauthorised pistol in a public place.
She was refused bail and appeared before the Bail Division Court later that day.
