AN East Perth man (22) has been charged with possession of drugs, weapons, illicit cash and stolen property after police raided a Hay Street apartment for the second time in three months yesterday.

“The raid was the result of information from the public and observation of alleged ongoing drug dealing at the unit that had previously been targeted for the supply and sale of drugs and stolen property,” Senior Sergeant Craig Davis said.

It will be alleged the man had 10g of methamphetamine, 2g of heroin, $18,000 cash, a large amount of prescription medication, and about 50 stolen mobile phones, computers and tablets.
