Police searched the vehicle and located a small compartment hidden underneath where the passenger airbag should be. The compartment was located by removing the entire panel.

- Supply Prohibited Drug under Section 25(1) of the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985.

In the Local Court, Our client was sentenced to an Intensive Correction Order for a period of 18 months with a house arrest condition.
Our client retained Principal Solicitor and Accredited Criminal Law Specialist Mr Zemarai Khatiz. Mr Khatiz appealed the matter and attended Sydney District Court. Mr Khatiz made strong submissions on the basis of reducing the ICO with a house arrest condition to a Community Corrections Order. The Judge was convinced by Mr Khatiz’s Submissions and imposed a good behaviour bond for a period of only 12 months! This meant our client was no longer on house arrest.
Our client was overjoyed by this result, as it meant that he can put this chapter of his life behind him!
