Police have arrested two people following the discovery of a clandestine lab in Auckland this morning.

The arrests are the result of search warrants that were conducted at two addresses in Mt Roskill and Albany.

A 35-year-old male from Albany and a 26-year-old male from Auckland Central have both been charged with multiple offences relating to the manufacturing, possession and supply of Methamphetamine.

Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Richard Sami from Avondale Police, says police uncovered a large, active clan lab at one of the addresses.

“This was a complex lab in operation that was used for the purpose of manufacturing Methamphetamine, which as we know causes significant harm in our community.

“We want to reassure the community that we will continue to actively seek out those responsible for making and suppling this harmful drug and hold them to account, so that we can keep our communities safe,” says Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Sami.

The two men are due to appear in the Auckland District Court today.
