Six people have been arrested after a pre-planned meth bust in Palmerston North this morning.
The bust occurred at addresses in Palmerston North and Auckland, and resulted in charges being laid against four men and two women aged between 31 and 55.
These searches uncovered cash, drugs and guns - and police say the exact amounts will take time to ascertain.
“The four men, aged 32, 36, 45 and 55, and two women, aged 31 and 32, are due to appear in the Palmerston North District Court tomorrow on various drug-related charges.”
Earlier today, people were asked to avoid the areas near the Ruahine St-Roxburgh Cres intersection as police carried out the Palmerston North search warrant.
A police spokesperson said while there would be an increased police presence in the area there is not thought to be any risk to the general public - including that of a nearby primary school.
“Police have spoken with a primary school nearby and there are no concerns for pupils.”
