Three drug dealers including two women caught in a police bust have pleaded guilty to more than 40 charges of producing, manufacturing, and supplying methamphetamine and ecstasy.
Fiona Nivika McFarland, 31, of Onerahi, Emma-Jane Whiting, 36, of Portland and Kane Jason Murray, 32, of Wheki Valley were jointly charged in an operation cracking down on the methamphetamine trade.
They appeared before Judge Gene Tomlinson in the Whangārei District Court on Thursday.
They first appeared before the court in May 2020 and entered not-guilty pleas however, almost three years later they have now admitted to the crime spree months out from a scheduled jury trial.
