A Police Asset Recovery Unit investigation into the proceeds from illicit drugs in the Taranaki area has resulted in the restraint of property last week worth about $90,000.
Police working on an operation targeting the sale and supply of methamphetamine executed search warrants at four properties in Taranaki in September last year.
About 94g of methamphetamine, with a street value of about $38,000, was seized, along with an amount of cash, cannabis and other items that could have been potentially used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.
A 32-year-old man was arrested at a New Plymouth property and he has been charged with possession for supply of methamphetamine and a number of other drug-related charges.
