Illegal drugs and toy guns that look scarily like the real think have been picked up in the Berri in South Australia near the borders with New South Wales and Victoria.

South Australian Police searched a home in Berri after receiving a tip off – and it was quite the haul!

They picked up almost two kilograms of cannabis, 60 LSD tablets, 20 grams of cocaine, two gel blasters – toy guns which are designed to look exactly like the real thing and fire gel pellets – and more than $5000 in cash.

South Australian Police have now arrested a 27-year-old local man and charged him with two counts of trafficking in a commercial quality of a controlled drug.

What makes this story particularly interesting is that its not the first-time gel blasters have been involved in arrests by South Australian Police.

Gel blasters are becoming a serious problem in Australia with more than 700 handed to authorities but that barely scratches the surface of the problem.

And with that much cash and the sheer quantity of drugs picked up by the Police, it certainly seems this guy was a dealer.
