Once inside, police reportedly found ten bags believed to contain cocaine, as well as $3,400 in cash.
The man, from Bonnyrigg Heights, was arrested and taken to Day Street police station.
“He was charged with supplying prohibited drugs (in excess of criminal offenses and less than commercial quantities) and knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime,” a NSW Police spokesperson said.
‘He was granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Center Local Court on Wednesday 30 October 2024.’
It is understood the man is a coach with a well-known team in the NSWRL competition but does not work for an NRL club.
