Yesterday's arrest comes after armed police stopped a van heading to Napier at the Napier Taupo Rd intersection in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Half a kilo of methamphetamine was seized form the vehicle, as well as drug utensils, and two men were arrested.
A 30-year-old Tararua man was charged with supplying and possession for supplying methamphetamine. He was remanded in custody after his first appearance and will reappear in Dannevirke District Court on August 21.
A Tararua man, aged 31, has been charged with possession of drug utensils. He was remanded on bail and appeared in the Napier District Court yesterday.
Eastern field crime manager Inspector Mike Foster said yesterday's seizure, along with Saturday's bust, meant over a kilo of methamphetamine was now taken off the street.
"Hawke's Bay is not immune to major drug activity and both these seizures reflect a growing trend of illicit drugs being brought into the district for distribution.
"This sort of activity is having a huge impact on our communities - especially the vulnerable - and police are working extremely hard to try to stop the flow of drugs into the area.
"It's hugely important that the community work with us to stamp out this activity and keep our people safe."
Mr Foster said the amount of harm methamphetamine caused to communities was "astronomical".
"While it may be acceptable in some circles, the reality is that people are developing major drug habits that are leading to a huge increase in lesser crimes like burglary and theft."
Police were asking members of the public to come forward with information about any drug activity in their area.
Anyone who saw anything suspicious in their neighbourhood that could be linked to drugs, were asked to call their local station.
Alternatively, information could be left anonymously with Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.
