Another man wanted for failing to appear in Whangarei District Court was found at a Tikipunga house. Officers also discovered methamphetamine, cannabis, drug utensils and ammunition at the property.
A 36-year-old Whangarei man will appear in Whangarei District Court todayon a variety of drug-related charges.
The operation targeted people in Whangarei and Dargaville, identified as high risk or wanted by police, and victims were also visited by officers to put plans in place to reduce the likelihood of them being victimised again.
Officers from Kerikeri, Kaikohe, Whangarei and Kaikohe were divided into five teams.
A number of people with warrants for unpaid fines were also visited and taken to court to sort out payment options.
"It's all about prevention and protecting victims, that's the simple message. The people we are looking for continue to commit crimes and continue to be high risk drivers on the roads," Mr Ewers said.
"This is about getting them before the courts and getting their issues sorted."
On the list were up to 90 drivers who had exceeded their demerit points and should have been off the road.
Officers delivered suspension notices to those drivers who would have to park their cars and refrain from driving for the next three months.
"These people are putting other people's lives at risk and they shouldn't be on the roads."
Checkpoints were held through the day including ones at Raumanga and Onerahi where infringement notices were handed out for failing to wear seatbelts, lack of vehicle registration and warrants and failing to buckle in children.
Police carried out their first operation of this type in May this year when the Whangarei suburb of Raumanga came under the spotlight.
Since then Kawakawa and Kaitaia in July have been the subject of these mass police concentrations.
Mr Ewers said the complete police approach would be used again in the region.
