A CASTERTON man who was on bail for drug charges when police found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia during a raid at his Casterton property, has had his bail application denied. 

Philip Mutch, 41, appeared at the Geelong Magistrates Court on Friday afternoon where his bail application was denied, after he was charged with trafficking and possessing methamphetamine, and committing offences while on bail.

The court heard on Thursday morning the Hamilton Crime Investigation Unit executed a drug warrant at the caravan Mr Mutch was residing at and located 10 grams of methamphetamine in three separate bags, $420 in cash, digital scales, and numerous empty deal bags.

Hamilton Crime Investigation Unit detective senior constable, Nick Roberts said after the search, Mr Mutch was arrested and taken to the Hamilton Police Station where he declined to be interviewed.

Det Sen Const, Nick Roberts said Mr Mutch was on bail for drug trafficking and possession, and driving matters at the time of the search.

He told the court the amount of methamphetamine seized during the search on Thursday would have a street value of between $5000 and $10,000, and Mr Mutch was at an unacceptable risk of continuing to offend if granted bail.

Mr Mutch told the court he was willing to undergo counselling and complete regular drug tests if released on bail.

Magistrate John Lesser said he was not satisfied Mr Mutch had met the exceptional circumstances test and believed he remained at an unacceptable risk of reoffending.

Mr Lesser denied Mr Mutch bail and remanded him to appear in the Hamilton Magistrates Court on April 6.
