Australian police seek alleged associates in Scots pair’s ketamine case
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.
In short
- Two Scots remain in custody over an alleged Sydney ketamine operation.
- Police allege 60kg of ketamine was found in a hotel car park.
- Investigators are still seeking others linked to the alleged network.
Explained simply
Ketamine is a drug used in medicine, but it is also sold illegally for recreational use. Australian police allege that Demi McDaid and Jack Farrelly were involved in supplying it; the claims have not been tested in court.
The case concerns alleged drug activity in Sydney, where police say they found ketamine and equipment at a rental property and in a hire car. Police say they are still investigating whether other people were involved, but no one else has been charged so far.
The two Scots remain in custody while the legal case continues. The allegations matter because they concern a large quantity of a controlled drug and an alleged criminal group, but the court will determine whether the charges are proved.
