Public Order Response Team police officers have charged a woman after she was allegedly caught hiding heroin and methamphetamine in her underwear.
Officers were patrolling in St Kilda when they noticed a black Holden Viva with a smashed window parked on St Kilda Road about 7.30pm on Sunday, September 7.
As police approached the Holden, a man exited the passenger’s seat and attempted to leave the area.
Officers stopped the man, and while they were searching him, a woman got out of the driver’s seat and allegedly attempted to hide a bag under the vehicle.
Police retrieved the bag, which was found to contain large quantities of methamphetamine and heroin, an imitation firearm, a knife, prescription medication and various drug paraphernalia.
The man was released pending further enquiries. The woman was taken to St Kilda Police Station. A full search was conducted.
Officers located 12.4g of heroin and $300 in cash hidden in the woman’s underwear while two bags of methamphetamine were found in her bra.
In total, police seized 51.6g of methamphetamine and 27.48g of heroin.
The 23-year-old Dandenong woman was subsequently charged with trafficking and possessing heroin, methamphetamine and a drug of dependence as well as possessing an imitation firearm, possessing a controlled weapon and dealing with proceeds of crime.
She was bailed to appear before the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on January 23, 2026.
