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 Friday.
