    A large amount of methamphetamine and cash has been seized in Otaki

    A large amount of methamphetamine and cash has been seized in Otaki


    Police who stopped a car in the lower North Island town yesterday found 300 grams of meth and 130-thousand dollars.

    Later searches uncovered five firearms.

    A 35-year-old man's been charged with possession of meth for supply.

    Detective Inspector Paul Baskett says the drug would've made its way into the community, and officers prevented significant harm by finding it.
