A 43-YEAR-OLD North Perth man has been swept up in a police operation that resulted in a $12.7 million drug seizure.

On Monday last week, WA Police and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission raided three properties, including one in North Perth where an unlicensed firearm and $60,000 cash was seized. A property in Alexander Heights coughed up about 18kg of ecstasy worth $2.7m, while a property south of Gingin had 10kg of meth, worth $10m.

The North Perth man was charged with four counts of possessing an unlicensed firearm and one count of unlawful possession of cash.

A 25-year-old Landsdale man and a 26-year-old Noranda man were charged with intending to sell or supply methylamphetamine.
