Officers seized more than 60 kilograms of methamphetamine in Rotorua on Wednesday, which has a street value of 36 million dollars.
Last week, more than 200 kilograms of the drug was discovered in a major operation in Auckland.
Drug detection agency manager Rod Dale says New Zealand is a lucrative market and is targeted by international cartels.
Dale says ESR wastewater tests reveal New Zealanders use 16 kilograms of meth per week.
