A 24-year-old Tauranga man has been arrested and charged with selling an approved psychoactive substance product without a licence after police searched a Te Puke retail store last Friday.
Police searched the store after a tip-off psychoactive substances were being sold illegally from the premises.
The 24-year-old store manager will be appearing in the Tauranga District Court this Thursday, May 8.
Police said they were disappointed the man had allegedly sold psychoactive substances from a store without a licence and encouraged members of the community to report any illegal sales of psychoactive substances.
