A 58-year-old man was arrested after police seized drugs during a search of his Reid home on Friday morning.

He has been charged with drug trafficking after police and drug-detection dogs searched the Ainslie Avenue residence.

Police say the swoop follows an investigation into the source of illicit drugs being trafficked in the city area.

They seized:

• Clear bags containing a white crystalline substance, believed to be methamphetamine, 
• Several bags containing a white powder, believed to be cocaine, 
• Multiple mobile phones, 
• Shotgun shells, 
• Multiple identify cards not belonging to the 58-year-old man, 
• Suspected cannabis matter, and 
• Other drug paraphernalia.

The man faces the ACT Magistrates Court charged with possessing a prohibited substance, possessing ammunition, and trafficking in a controlled drug.
