A childcare worker who imported P into New Zealand from South Africa will serve six months' home detention.
Haley Carol Jacobs, 37, was sentenced in the Auckland District Court today after she last year admitted a charge of importing methamphetamine.
She was caught when Customs intercepted a package at the International Mail Centre in Auckland on July 24 that contained 8 grams of the class A drug.
The drugs were wrapped in four small plastic bags inside a CD case, sent from Cape Town.
When Customs officers searched Jacobs' Christchurch home a week later, they found drug paraphernalia, including three glass meth pipes, and eight empty point bags containing methamphetamine residue.
