A 50-year-old Tauranga man and his 21-year-old son, both sickness beneficiaries, will appear in Tauranga District Court tomorrow following the discovery of 350 grams of drugs hidden in a storage unit at a Mount Maunganui apartment block.
The drugs were found along with a sizeable sum of cash.
The discovery was made on 20 January and follows a police investigation which began in December last year.
Inside the storage unit, police discovered two sealed bags containing white powder and a third containing approximately $15,000 cash.
Analysis of the powder has confirmed it to be 130 grams of the Class A drug cocaine and 220 grams of the Class A drug methamphetamine.
