Police finalise evidence brief in case of Adam John Wilkins, accused of manufacturing drugs in Oxley Vale, Tamworth

Tamworth Local Court heard on Wednesday that police had finalised the evidence against Adam John Wilkins.

"The brief is compliant," police prosecutor Sergeant John Brissett said.

The 41-year-old man has denied a string of drug-related charges including two counts each of supplying prohibited drugs, and manufacturing them.

A Crown prosecutor will now consider which allegations to press ahead with against the accused, known as the charge certification stage.

Magistrate Julie Soars adjourned the case to August.

She told Aboriginal Legal Service defence solicitor Bridget Dawson that Wilkins must front court in person on that date if the matter was ready to progress.

He remains on strict bail conditions which were continued.

The police case is that a search at Wilkins' home on the morning of January 28 - which extended into the following days - allegedly revealed a dimethyltryptamine laboratory.

Large cacti cuttings, cannabis plants and items consistent with the supply and manufacture of prohibited drugs were also found, according to police.

Officers were forced to call on the NSW Fire and Rescue and HAZMAT to ensure the scene was safe due to the "volatile chemicals".

The specialist chemical operations police squad then examined and dismantled the alleged laboratory.
