POLICE have restrained nearly $40,000 in cash after the High Court found it was likely to be the proceeds of crime in relation to cash and cannabis seized from a former Wairoa man.
In March 2018, officers conducting a road policing operation, stopped a vehicle on Latham Street, Napier.
“Oneof the vehicle's occupants — a patched Mongrel Mob member formerly from Wairoa — was wearing a bag containing $39,730 and two bags of dried cannabis with a street value of between $7500 and $30,680,” said Wairoa Detective Sergeant Brent Griffiths.
“Following further investigation police applied for the cash to be restrained on the basis it was likely to have been acquired through criminal activity.
