Police have shut down yet another clandestine drug lab – this time in the southern suburb of Huntingdale.
Armed with a misuse of drugs search warrant, police raided a home on Redfox Crescent about 10am yesterday and allegedly discovered a crude laboratory where it appeared methamphetamine was being produced.
Officers from the Organised Crime Unit and WA Chemistry Centre experts were called out to the house to dismantle the equipment.
They found several items and chemical liquids commonly used to manufacture “ice” or “speed”.
Police arrested a 41-year-old woman on charges of attempting to manufacture a prohibited substance.
She will appear in the Armadale Magistrate’s Court today.
Nearly 80 clandestine drug labs have been discovered this year alone, a huge jump from the 28 busts last year.
Police have previously blamed the economic downturn for driving ice and speed users to “cook” their own drugs.
