It will be alleged in court the driver, a 29-year-old man, was unlicensed.

Police searched the vehicle and seized several items, including cash, drug paraphernalia, prohibited drugs and mobile phones.

He was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where he was charged with seven counts of possessing a prohibited drug, two counts of supplying a prohibited drug, dealing in the proceeds of crime, two counts of driving while unlicensed, possessing or attempting to prescribe a restricted substance, and failing to appear in accordance with bail acknowledgment.

The man was refused bail to appear at Byron Bay Local Court today.
