Arrest And Seizures Following Search Warrants In Wairarapa
29 November
Police have executed search warrants at
residences across the Wairarapa
today, resulting in one
arrest and the seizure of drugs, weapons and
a
vehicle.
A 28-year-old man is due to appear in
Masterton District Court on 30
November, facing drugs and
firearms charges.
Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Sears
says that targeting gangs in the area is
part of
Police’s commitment to disrupting the supply of illegal
drugs by
organised crime groups.
“While the sight
of armed Police in our towns can be confronting,
we’re
committed to reducing drug harm by targeting
individuals who profit from the
supply of illegal drugs
without consideration of the devastation they cause
in
our communities.
“Enquiries are ongoing and we haven’t ruled-out further arrests.”
