Six people have been arrested following raids in Whakatāne, Tauranga, Waikato and Auckland.
The simultaneous search warrants were executed yesterday and were the second phase of an operation targeting organised crime which originated from the arrest of a man for significant methamphetamine offences in February.
More than 70 Police staff, including the Asset Recovery Units from Tauranga, Waikato and Auckland were involved in the operation.
In excess of $1.5 million in cash was seized along with six high-end vehicles and one high-end motorcycle.
