Two men are facing drug supply charges after police found prohibited and prescription drugs as well as cash at Minmi.
The High-Visibility police unit were brought to a home on Woodford Street around 10.30 on Tuesday morning, as part of an ongoing investigation.
A 39-year-old man was spotted in a car before he fled on foot and was arrested a short time later.
A short foot pursuit ensued before the man was arrested.
Officers conducted a subsequent search of the man’s backpack and located an amount of methylamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, cash, buprenorphine and prescription medication.
Police then arrested another 30-year-old man inside the home on an outstanding warrant.
The younger man was charged with an outstanding arrest warrant for a driving offence and 46 other unrelated drugs offences.
He was formally refused bail and is set to reappear at the same court on December 9.
The 39-year-old was also refused bail and is due to face Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday.
