The jury in the trial of three people facing charges relating to the manufacture of methamphetamine in a Northland holiday home has retired to consider its verdict.
Kimberley Gibbons-Hurinui, 32, Jeffery Hall, 35, and Tama Watene-Toi, 52 are facing seven charges in relation to the discovery of a meth lab in Dolphin Place, on the Tutukaka Coast, on July 10, 2016.
They are charged with manufacturing meth, possession of equipment with an intention of manufacturing meth, possession of meth for supply, unlawful possession of a restricted weapon, unlawful possession of a pistol, unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of an explosive.
Charges against a fourth person, Charla McIntyre, was dismissed in the Whangarei District Court this week due to insufficient evidence.
Jurors retired at 2.20pm today after Judge Keith de Ridder summed up the case to them.
