Once inside, police allegedly located 10 bags believed to contain cocaine, as well as $3,400 in cash.
The man, from Bonnyrigg Heights, was arrested and taken to Day Street police station.
“He was charged with supplying prohibited drugs (more than indictable and less than commercial quantity) and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime,” a NSW Police spokesperson said.
“He was granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Center Local Court on Wednesday 30 October 2024.”
The man is understood to be a coach of a well-known team in the NSWRL competition, but does not work for any NRL club.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted the NSWRL for comment.
