A TIP-OFF to Crimestoppers by a concerned Northern Beaches resident has led police to a major drug bust.

Senior Sergeant Adrian Rieck thanked the public for their help.

A 27-year-old Rural View man was charged with producing dangerous drugs and possession of utensils and is due to appear in Mackay Magistrates Court on April 11.
