Casino drug dealer jailed for 18 years

A man who ran a drugs operation out of the Sky City casino in Auckland has been jailed for 18 years.

Tac Kin Voong, 47, was earlier this year found guilty on a number of methamphetamine charges in the High Court at Auckland.

He was sentenced today to 18 years in jail, with a minimum non-parole period of nine years.

The Crown had argued that Voong, a Vietnamese national, used the casino as an office and arranged for cash and P to be exchanged from the casino in 2006.
