The cavity allegedly contained the ecstasy pills and the cash. The men were arrested and taken to Sutherland police station where a follow-up search allegedly revealed more money. One man was holding $3400 in notes of "various denominations" between his buttocks, police said. The arrests were part of Operation Spartan, which was established in January to investigate gun crime and organised gangs across Sydney. Sutherland duty officer Ryan Anning said police were targeting the Atkinson Road location because it is known Rebel territory. A 24-year-old man was charged with supplying a prohibited drug, goods in custody and recklessly dealing with the proceeds of crime. He will appear in Sutherland Local Court today. The other man, 25, was released without charge, pending further inquiries.
