Taranaki Police seized a significant amount of cash, drugs, and vehicles after executing a search warrant in Fitzroy on 9 January.
Approximately $5,000 in cash and 100 ounces of cannabis were confiscated during the search. In addition, three vehicles—a Holden Colorado ute and two Harley Davidson motorcycles—were seized, with a combined value of nearly $90,000.
A 35-year-old man was arrested at the property and is scheduled to appear in the New Plymouth District Court tomorrow (15 January), charged with possession of cannabis for supply.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Paula Drewery emphasized the impact of drug-related crime in the community.
“Drugs cause a lot of harm in our communities, and I want to acknowledge the wider team of Police staff who have assisted in collecting information and evidence that ultimately led us to making this arrest,” she said.
Police remain committed to holding offenders accountable and seizing assets obtained through criminal activity.
“We remain committed to holding people to account by putting them before the courts and seizing their assets that criminal profits have paid for,” Drewery added.
