Meth lab found in car boot

Police who stopped a car in Hamilton this afternoon found a methamphetamine lab in the boot.

The car was stopped in Darley Street because of the manner in which it was being driven.

Whilst speaking with the driver and making arrangements for the vehicle to be impounded a methamphetamine lab was located in the boot of the car, police said.

Darley Street was closed for a short period of time whilst the vehicle was secured, and the driver and police officers underwent decontamination.

A 30-year-old man would appear in Hamilton District Court tomorrow to face charges relating to the find.
