Two people have been arrested after a clandestine drug lab was busted by police in northern Auckland last week.
Guns, ammunition, drugs, and equipment were also seized when two properties in Warkworth were raided.
“Despite challenging terrain and extensive search requirements, the team secured a substantial amount of evidential material and dismantled a significant risk to the community," Detective Senior Sergeant Josh Lautogo said.
One person was taken into custody at one of the addresses while a second was arrested this morning.
A 49-year-old woman was charged with possessing equipment, material with intent, produce/manufacture methamphetamine, unlawful possession of ammunition and possession for supply of methamphetamine. She was remanded in custody and is due to reappear in the North Shore District Court on May 5, 2027.
A 48-year-old man was charged with possession of an offensive weapon, possession for supply of methamphetamine and three counts of driving while disqualified. He was due to appear in the North Shore District Court today.
“This result reflects our continued focus on disrupting organised crime groups involved in the manufacture and supply of methamphetamine,” Lautogo said.
