Five people have been remanded in custody and two others on bail after being arrested for their alleged involvement in methamphetamine dealing and other drugs offences in Hawke's Bay in recent months.
The seven, aged from 25 to 49, were arrested as a police investigation culminated with the searches of six houses and four vehicles in Napier and Hastings on Sunday.
About 30 police officers were involved.
Five of the arrests were in Napier and two were in Hastings.
The head of the Eastern District Police organised crime group, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Foster, said a large amount of the drug was seized during the raids, as well as Ecstasy pills, LSD and other substances yet to be analysed. Also seized was several thousand dollars in cash and a loaded sawn-off shotgun.
