Cocaine worth more than $300,000 was seized in Calwell at the weekend after a tip-off from a member of the public, police say.
ACT Policing found half a kilogram of cocaine estimated to be worth $385,000 in a search of a Mitsubishi Triton stopped on Downard Street, Calwell at 2.30pm Saturday.
Police believed the drugs would have been distributed in the ACT.
Detective Acting Inspector Robert Rose said a tip-off from a member of the public had led to the find.
"This is a very good result for us and the Canberra community," he said.
"If you're trying to sell drugs in the ACT, no matter how careful you think you're being, remember there's always someone who could tell us what you're doing.
"By seizing these drugs we are reducing drug harm. This results in stronger families and a stronger community. We are committed to disrupting the supply of drugs to our community, and reducing the damage they cause to so many lives."
A man is currently assisting police with their inquiries.
Police urge anyone who has any information regarding the manufacture or sale of illicit drugs to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Information can be provided anonymously.
