New Zealand and Thai authorities have worked together to bring down an alleged major methamphetamine supplier.
Police and the New Zealand Customs staff announced this afternoon the alleged major supplier of the drug to New Zealand was arrested at the end of last month.
The arrest follows an investigation that also involved police and Customs liaison officers based in Bangkok, and Thai authorities, including the Office of the Narcotic Control Board, the Police Narcotic Suppression Bureau, and the Thailand Customs Department.
Last year, police and New Zealand Customs led two joint investigations involving multiple seizures of methamphetamine couriered from Thailand, and which led to the arrest of five Kiwis.
