A Maidstone man has been sentenced to five years’ jail for drug trafficking, possessing a precursor chemical and having more than $140,000 cash suspected of being the proceeds of crime.
Rico Bui, 42, pleaded guilty in the County Court to all charges, which followed police intercepting his car and searching his home in January last year.
A search of his SUV had uncovered a number of bags containing substances and $1245 cash.
At his home, police found bags containing substances including heroin, methylamphetamine and cocaine, and $140,000 cash stacked in his bedroom wardrobe.
In a second bedroom, police found a heat-sealed bag containing precursor chemical, iodine.
