A MAJOR drug bust across Port Stephens earlier today has resulted in the arrest of four people including a 50-year-old grandfather and his 49-year-old wife.

A Shoal Bay man, 53, and a Salamander Bay man, 68, were also arrested just before 8am this morning.Port Stephens commander superintendent Charles Haggett said police believed the drugs were being purchased from Sydney and then sold in the Nelson Bay area.
