Second Arrest Over Camden Park Clan Lab

Police have arrested a second person after the discovery of a clandestine laboratory at a Camden Park home on Wednesday.

Just after 3.30pm on Wednesday 19 March, police and MFS were called to a block of units on Anzac Highway after reports of a strong chemical smell coming from one of the units.

MFS crews attended and rendered the scene safe.

Serious and Organised Crime Branch detectives entered the home and located chemicals believed to be used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.

A 36-year-old man from Camden Park was arrested and charged with manufacturing a large commercial quantity of a controlled drug and trafficking a large commercial quantity of a controlled drug. He was refused bail and appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Detectives spent the day dismantling the clan lab before Southern District police carried out a further search.

As a result of further investigations, a 42-year-old Camden Park woman was arrested and charged with manufacturing a large commercial quantity of a controlled drug and trafficking a large commercial quantity of a controlled drug. She was refused bail and will appear in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court today.
