Four men were arrested after cash and drugs worth more than $40,000 was seized in a police raid near Casterton on Wednesday.
Members of the police Western Region Crime Squad, in coordination with Portland and Hamilton detectives and uniform officers, executed a drug warrant at an address in Satimer Road, Wando Vale, about 2.30pm Wednesday.
