Drug-related arrests in New South Wales
Overview
In late August 2026, police in Parkes arrested a 46-year-old woman following a welfare concern at a residence. During the encounter, officers reported that the woman resisted arrest and struck an officer with an object, necessitating the use of capsicum spray. A search of the property led to the seizure of methamphetamine, cannabis, a drug ledger, and eight mobile phones.
In mid-September 2026, a separate incident occurred on the New England Highway near Scone, where a 49-year-old woman was arrested after a roadside drug test. Following a positive test for methamphetamine, police searched the vehicle and reportedly found 56.6 grams of a crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamine, a glass pipe, and $500 in cash.
