Police arrested a 25-year-old man in Blenheim after they smelled cannabis coming from his car during a routine vehicle stop.
Constable Andrew Holdaway, of Blenheim, said the labourer was arrested in Freswick St at 10.45pm on Monday.
Police smelled a strong cannabis odour and searched his car, Holdaway said. They found 15.7 grams of cannabis, enough to make 16 tinnies, he said.
He was charged with possession of cannabis for supply, possession of equipment to cultivate cannabis and possession of utensils to consume methamphetamine, namely a pipe.
The man was held in police custody to appear in the Blenheim District Court yesterday.
