Police have charged a Huntington man with a range of drug related offences after pulling over a car and allegedly finding illegal substances and a weapon yesterday.

The 22-year-old man was pulled over on Wellington Street in Perth at about 12.30am by traffic officers who allegedly found a knife on a passenger and MDMA tablets in a clip seal bag in the car.

The driver was taken to a police station where police allege cannabis was found hidden in his clothing.

Police later searched the man's home in Huntingdale where officers allegedly found a hydroponic cannabis-growing operation and more of the drug.

The man has been charged with possessing and intending to sell cannabis and MDMA, possession of cannabis and cultivating a prohibited plant.

He is scheduled to appear in Perth Magistrate's court on Friday.
