## Summary

Two Scots nationals, Demi McDaid and Jack Farrelly, remain in custody in Australia after police accused them of involvement in a large ketamine supply operation. Police say their investigation is continuing to identify other people behind the alleged network, with no one else charged so far.

The pair were arrested at a North Sydney hotel on June 29, after police searched a short-term rental in Artarmon and allegedly found 1kg of ketamine and drug-related equipment. Investigators allege a further 60kg was in a hire car in the hotel car park, alongside phones, cash and drug ledgers; both have also been charged with offences relating to directing or participating in a criminal group. Bail was refused, and the case was adjourned until November 12.
