A police raid on a property in South Wairarapa seized methamphetamine with a street value of $ 400,000.
About 500 grams of the drug, also known as “P,” was found along with $ 12,000 in cash and a sawed-off shotgun with ammunition at the Martinborough address on Friday.
A 25-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman were arrested for possession of methamphetamine for the illegal supply and possession of a firearm. Both appeared in Masterton District Court on Friday afternoon.
Detective Sergeant Shaun Richardson said a seizure would prevent considerable social harm.
