A couple jointly charged with several drug offences could walk free, as
the physical evidence to be used in the case has disappeared without a
trace.

The police have launched an internal investigation and heads may roll if
the 40lbs of missing cannabis with a street value of nearly half a
million dollars is not recovered.

The SUN understands that an urgent investigation is already fully
underway in a bid to trace and or recover the drugs.

Nathaniel Simon and Claudette Morrison of Christian Valley were facing
charges relating to the cultivation of marijuana. During a police
operation, the plants were uprooted and reportedly lodged in large
plastic bags at the police exhibit room at American Road.
