New Zealand: Eighteen arrested in Bay of Plenty drug raids
New Zealand Herald Wednesday 26 Sep 2012 A total of 17 search warrants were executed in Tauranga, Mount Maunganui and Te Puke. Ten men and eight women were arrested in relation to methamphetamine, LSD, cannabis, cannabis plants and stolen property offences. The majority of the methamphetamine (approximately 15 grams) was found at a Tauranga address. A 50-year-old man now faces charges of both possession and supply. A stolen outboard motor and cannabis were found at a Welcome Bay address. Three men were arrested at the address. Cannabis plants were discovered at houses in Te Puke (35 plants), Tauriko (31 plants) and Bethlehem (49 plants). The plants were in various stages of development. Those arrested face a variety of charges including possession and supply of Class A and C drugs, cultivating cannabis, possession of drug utensils, receiving stolen property and breaching court bail. About 40 officers took part in today's operation, including armed officers and police dogs. Detective Sergeant Darryl Brazier said: "We have sent a clear message today that we will not tolerate drugs in our community. We will continue to shake the trees until those people intent on criminal offending realise that they have nowhere to hide and that they need to start doing something more productive with their lives." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10836704
