“Methamphetamine causes huge amounts of harm in whanau and in our communities,” Inspector Darren Paki said.
“Gangs are involved in the distribution and supply of meth at every level.
“Illegal firearms are also a commodity that gang members value and use to commit crimes of violence.
“Operation Kotare will continue to reduce the harm that gang members cause through their actions of supplying meth and committing acts of violence.”
Insp Paki said police remained totally committed to preventing gang harm and keeping our communities safer.
“We welcome information from anyone who has concerns about organised crime, gang activity, or the illegal possession of firearms.”
