During a search of the man’s Manakau address, in Horowhenu, a pump action shotgun and 56 rounds of ammunition were located, as well as nearly four kilograms of material used in the manufacture of synthetic drugs.

This is a significant quantity and once manufactured these materials would have an estimated street value of $100,000.

The 26-year-old has been charged with supplying a psychoactive substance (synthetic drugs) and bailed to appear in the Levin District Court on Thursday 16 November.

Synthetic drugs cause significant harm to the community and can be fatal to users.
