Woman caught importing P ingredient

A woman has been caught in Wellington importing 2kg of ephedrine which police say could have been used as an ingredient in $500,000 worth of methamphetamine.

Police and customs worked together in the lead-up to the woman's arrest, following the delivery from Thailand to a Wellington address, Detective Inspector Darrin Thomson said.

A 24-year-old woman will appear in Wellington District Court charged with importing the class C drug.
