Police made 12 arrests after 24 properties were searched on Wednesday – 21 “throughout the wider Auckland area”, and three in Christchurch – as part of an operation targeting the drug trade. Police said the nine-month investigation, run by the National Organised Crime Group, targeted a core group that are alleged to be involved in the importation, distribution and manufacture of methamphetamine and MDMA, and other drugs in the two cities.
