Detectives swooped on a Baylis Street business on Friday morning, arresting Wagga man Tyler Disbury, 27, as part of a major police operation investigating the distribution of cocaine in the city.
Disbury was subsequently charged with supplying a prohibited drug, receiving/disposing of stolen property and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime.

In documents tendered to the court, police allege between 3.10pm and 3.30pm on April 1, Disbury received a number of Lidocaine liquid vials despite knowing they had been stolen.
Police further allege between 3.10pm and 4pm on the same day, Disbury knowingly dealt with $1500, despite knowing it was the proceeds of crime.
A further charge alleges Disbury supplied 2.4 grams of cocaine.
On Wednesday, Wagga Local Court heard he was in custody and he made no application for release.
Magistrate Christopher Halburd formally refused Disbury bail and adjourned the matter to July 19.

Following extensive inquiries, officers attached to the Wagga Region Enforcement Squad (RES), with assistance from Monaro and South East RES, Riverina Police District and Traffic and Highway Patrol executed three search warrants in Estella, Wagga and Lake Albert on May 11 and 12.
During a search of an Estella home, police seized vapes, knuckle dusters, prescription medication, $18,950 in Australian currency, designer shoes and electronic devices and towed three vehicles from the property.
