The Court of Appeal has upheld a Northland meth dealer's jail term of over five years

57-year-old Carlyn Anderson flooded the Kaikohe and Rawene drug market with nearly a kilogram of meth, worth about 100-thousand dollars, over four days.

She was caught in a 2021 drug sting and subsequently pleaded guilty to a raft of charges.

She was sentenced to five years four months in prison.

Anderson appealed the sentence in July, arguing it was manifestly excessive, but the Court of Appeal has dismissed the case.
