Two men charged over drone drug delivery attempt in Wollongong
Consensus Summary
Two men, Kayd Simpson (24) and Joshua Dendulk (43), were arrested in Wollongong after police intercepted a drone carrying 66 grams of methylamphetamine in a dog waste bag, which crashed into a unit complex on April 29, 2026. The men were found hiding inside the Corrimal Street unit after reports of suspicious behavior prompted a police response. A follow-up search of a Cliff Road home uncovered additional drugs, cash, and weapons, including a baton and an electronic stun device. Both men were charged with drug supply, possession, and unlawful entry, then refused bail and will face court again on May 12, 2026.
