A 16-year-old unlicensed Sydney driver has been charged by police after they allegedly found 79 ecstasy tablets in his underpants.
Officers had attempted to stop a Ford Laser sedan they saw on Liverpool Road at Petersham, in Sydney's inner west, at 1.15pm (AEDT) yesterday but as police approached the car drove off.
Police pursued the car through Petersham and Marrickville until it stopped and they arrested all four occupants.
The Greenacre youth who had been driving the car was allegedly found to have 79 tablets in his underwear and was charged with supplying a prohibited drug.
He was also charged with traffic offences including dangerous driving, unlicensed driving, resisting arrest and breaching bail conditions.
The teen was refused bail and will appear in Parramatta Children's Court later today.
A passenger in the car, a 19-year-old also from Greenacre, has been charged with possessing a prohibited drug and was granted bail to appear in Newtown Local Court on January 23.
A 30-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl also in the car were interviewed by police but released pending further inquiries.

If someone told me to look for ecstasy in my underpants could I snicker?

So what penalties should be in place to discourage the use of drugs like this and crystal meth etc.? We all back education but what we need to do is be less equivocal on enforcement.
