Mark Kilpatrick in court after cops allegedly find cocaine in Waterloo home

A man has faced court after officers raided a home and allegedly found 1.5kg of cocaine, $43,860 cash, drug scales, Xanax, steroids, knuckle dusters and rifle ammunition. Mark Kilpatrick, 37, was arrested about 8pm on Saturday after police responded to reports of a driver asleep in an SUV while stopped in the middle of Wentworth Ave in Surry Hills. Police allege he was removed from the car before officers allegedly found cocaine, $1000 cash and three mobile phones during a search of the vehicle. The man was taken to Surry Hills Police Station where he was charged with supplying a prohibited drug and granted bail. The next day, around 2.30pm, officers executed a search warrant at a home in Danks St, Waterloo allegedly finding 1.5kg of cocaine, $43,860 cash, drug scales, Xanax, steroids, knuckle dusters and rifle ammunition. The cocaine has an estimated street value of more than $375,000. Police rearrested the 37-year-old and took him back to Surry Hills Police Station. He was charged with six additional offences including supplying a large commercial quality of a drug, possessing a prohibited weapon and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime. Kilpatrick appeared on screen at Central Local Court from Surry Hills Police Station and did not apply for bail. The court heard he was charged with a number of serious “strictly indictable” offences, which will eventually need to be dealt with in the District Court. He will return to court in eight weeks on January 12.
