    A Masterton man's been arrested for attempting to smuggle millions of dollars worth of methamphetamine through the mail


    Customs intercepted 10 packages, estimated to hold 10 kilos of meth - sent to addresses across the country by mail and airfreight.

    Some drugs were concealed in a painting and roller-skate knee-pads.

    The 43-year-old is due to appear in Masterton District Court today.
