A 44-year-old Queenstown man arrested following a search warrant this morning has been remanded in custody by Judge Kevin Phillips.
The man faces one charge of possession of Class A-controlled methamphetamine, for the purpose of supply, dated April 3.
It carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
He also faces another charge of receiving an LG Smart television, valued at $2049 having been "reckless" as to whether or not the television had been stolen. This charge has a maximum penalty of seven years' prison.
The man appeared before Judge Phillips, who appeared by audio-visual link from Invercargill District Court, and did not enter pleas nor make an application for bail.
Judge Phillips remanded the defendant to reappear in the Queenstown District Court via AVL on Monday.
A police media spokeswoman earlier said the man and a 27-year-old woman were arrested at 7am after the search was executed at a Fernhill address.
AOS assisted as a precaution.
The spokeswoman said a ''large amount of property'' was recovered from the address, as well as Class A and C-controlled drugs.
The Otago Daily Times understands the woman has been released without charge.
