A man was arrested in Auckland overnight after officers found a cache of drugs, a bong, over $5000 cash, and a tick book in a vehicle they had just pulled over.
The officers had been patrolling the north Auckland suburb of Millwater when, at around midnight, they spotted a "suspicious-looking vehicle".
Senior Sergeant Carl Fowlie said that when it stopped, the officers approached the vehicle and spotted a bong on the floor.
“After discovering this item, a search was conducted on the rest of the vehicle,” he said.
The officers would end up finding 14.5g of methamphetamine, 14g of cocaine, 55g of cannabis, 44 LSD tabs, a tick book, and around $5400 in cash.
A 19-year-old was arrested and would 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.
“This was a great find by our staff, who were simply out conducting proactive patrols during their shift,” Fowlie said.
“We are pleased to have been able to remove these items from circulation and the potential harm they could have caused in the community.”
