Police arrested 45-year-old Scott Miller and a second, 47-year-old man on Tuesday morning after finding methylamphetamine concealed in eight candles in January. The two men were arrested with drugs and cash allegedly found at both homes. "It's alleged he's the director of this particular syndicate ... Others, it will be alleged, are working under his instruction," Supt Watson said. "This was not a small operation," Supt Watson said. Both men were surprised at the raids but now co-operating with police after being taken to Newtown Police Station, Supt Watson said.
