Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Late Night Drive Ends In Charges
A simple traffic stop uncovered a cache of drugs and cash on Monday night in Millwater.
Senior Sergeant Carl Fowlie, Waitematā North Area Response Manager says a Police unit was patrolling the North Auckland suburb around midnight, when they spotted a suspicious looking vehicle.
“Once stopped, officers approached the vehicle and spotted a bong on the floor,” he says.
“After discovering this item, a search was conducted on the rest of the vehicle.”
The search uncovered 14.5g of methamphetamine, 14g of cocaine, 55g of cannabis, 44 LSD tabs, a tick book and around $5400 in cash.
“This was a great find by our staff, who were simply out conducting proactive patrols during their shift,” says Senior Sergeant Fowlie.
“We are pleased to have been able to remove these items from circulation and the potential harm they could have caused in the community.”
A 19-year-old man will appear in the North Shore District Court today, charged with possession for supply cannabis, possession for supply methamphetamine, possession for supply LSD and possession of drug utensils.
