Detectives in Karratha have charged seven people with a raft of drug offences in the wake of an
operation targeting members and associates of the Mongrel Mob outlaw motorcycle gang.

Detectives stopped a car on the North West Coastal Highway about 54km south of Karratha at 11am last Friday, the vehicle was searched and it will be alleged 501 grams of methamphetamine was found.

Two men — a 27-year-old from Millars Well and a 19-year-old from Bulgarra — were charged with several offences including possessing a trafficable quantity of methamphetamine with intent to sell or supply and possessing stolen or unlawfully obtained property.

The pair were refused bail and will reappear in court next week.

The seizure in the car led Karratha detectives and the gang crime squad to execute search warrants in Pegs Creek, Millars Well and Nickol.
