Melton South woman refused bail after drug raid

A Melton South woman was among 27 people arrested in drug raids across Melbourne’s north and west last Tuesday.

Aysun Hanay, 29, charged with two drug offences, was unrepresented in an application for bail that was refused by magistrate Margaret Harding in
Melbourne Magistrates Court last Wednesday.

More than 700 police executed 45 search warrants in pre-dawn raids on properties across the northern and
western suburbs.

The court heard that Hanay was captured on video using drugs at the workplace of a co-accused.

Taskforce Detective Leanne Klein said the charges against Hanay related to dates last December and in February and involved small amounts of meth-
amphetamine.

Hanay told the court she had been a heavy drug user but was “trying to get better”. She was scheduled to reappear in court yesterday.
