Police arrested two women after conducting search warrants at Invercargill.
Two women with gang connections have been arrested and face drug charges in Invercargill.
Acting Detective Sergeant Major Greg Baird said investigations into an aggravated robbery and kidnapping in Invercargill on Nov. 19 continue, and that five more search warrants are being carried out in the past three weeks.
As a result, two women, ages 25 and 34, have been charged with possession of methamphetamine for supply.
The 34-year-old woman has also been charged in connection with an aggravated robbery in Invercargill on December 6.

Those involved in the crime have gang connections, Baird said.

Investigations into both incidents are ongoing and more arrests and charges are being considered, he said.
