Accused meth trafficker Harley Burridge granted bail

An alleged Albany meth trafficker is set to appear in court next month on a string of serious criminal charges. Harley Michael Burridge, 26, will front the Bunbury Magistrate’s Court on May 25, charged with possessing a trafficable quantity of methylamphetamine with intent to sell or supply, a prohibited weapon, and dexamphetamine. The 26-year-old also faces a mandatory prison sentence of six months if convicted of reckless driving to escape pursuit by police. His other charges are breaching bail, driving without authority and driving with illicit drugs in his oral fluids. Mr Burridge was granted bail in the Albany Magistrate’s Court last Friday. A $10,000 personal undertaking and $10,000 surety were among the bail conditions. On Thursday last week, an arrest warrant was issued for Mr Burridge after he failed to appear for a scheduled court appearance in Albany. He is yet to enter pleas to the charges.
