Arrest after Organised Crime Operation - Wellington
"Arrest after Organised Crime Operation - Wellington"
Two arrests have been made following an operation terminated by Wellington Police’s Organised Crime and Drugs team on Thursday.
Police searched a Porirua address at 9pm and
located about 500 grams of methamphetamine.
This is
about 5,000 street doses with a street value of more than
$400,000.
This seizure will have significantly
disrupted the Wairarapa supply chain and stopped an enormous
amount of harm in our community.
“The investigation
is ongoing but we believe this termination sends a clear
message to those preying on the vulnerable that we will take
every opportunity to prevent the harm caused by this drug
and hold those responsible to account,” Detective
Inspector Darrin Thomson says.
Two 19-year-old
Wairarapa men have been charged with possession of
methamphetamine for supply and made their first appearance
in Porirua District Court on
Thursday.
