Three people have been arrested at a rural Waikato property as part of an ongoing investigation into the manufacture and supply of Class A controlled drugs.
A police spokesperson said officers from the Bay of Plenty Organised Crime Unit and Counties Manukau Offender Prevention Team alongside the Armed Offenders Squad carried out a pre-planned search warrant in the early hours of this morning.
“Two men, aged 29 and 38, and a woman aged 31, were located at the property and were taken into custody.”
Police discovered an item of interest buried near the garage, with detectives taking a photo of it, a witness said.
