A Rotorua judge has ordered a convicted drug offender must forfeit part of his properties to the Crown.
Phillip John Vant Leven, 54, has been sentenced in the Rotorua District Court to three-and-a-half years' prison on eight drugs charges, relating to methamphetamine.
At the sentencing on Friday, Judge James Weir granted a Crown application for forfeiture of part of Vant Leven's interest in properties on Riri St and Edward Payton Gr, Rotorua.
The two properties were the sites of some of his offending, which took place between October 2009 and May 2012.
A jury found Vant Leven guilty in April of six counts, including possession of precursor substances and equipment and conspiring to extract pseudoephedrine.
