A 24-year-old man is facing multiple charges after being stopped for allegedly speeding near Canberra.
A NSW Police spokesperson said Goulburn Highway Patrol was conducting stationary speed enforcement duties shortly before midnight last Friday (3 July), on the Federal Highway between Wollogorang and Lake George.
They detected a car allegedly travelling at 165 km/h in a 110 km/h-signposted zone.
The male driver stopped when directed to by police at Lake George.
Officers carried out a roadside drug test on the driver, which allegedly returned a positive result.
A secondary result allegedly returned a reading for cocaine.
Police searched his car, allegedly finding 125 g of ketamine, 141.5 g of cocaine, 44.16 g of MDMA and eight vials of steroids and testosterone.
Police also allege $24,000 cash was found in the car.
The man was arrested and taken to Goulburn Police Station.
He has been charged with three counts of supplying prohibited drug (greater than an indictable and less than commercial quantity), four counts of possess/attempt to possess a prescribed restricted substance, and recklessly dealing with proceeds of crime (greater than $5000).
The driver was also issued an infringement notice for allegedly exceeding the speed limit by over 45 km/h and had his licence suspended.
He was refused bail and appeared in the Bail Division Court on Saturday (4 July), where he was formally refused bail.
The man is next scheduled to appear in Goulburn Local Court on 22 July.
