A routine report of a suspicious vehicle in Beachlands led to a major drug bust overnight, with police uncovering more than 70 bags of illicit substances inside a parked car.

At around 2:20 a.m., police responded to a tip-off about a vehicle idling on Wakelin Road.

Upon arrival, officers found a man in the passenger seat who appeared to be under the influence of drugs. According to Counties Manukau East Area Prevention Manager Inspector Rakana Cook, the man attempted to move into the driver’s seat and flee but was quickly apprehended.

A strong smell of cannabis led officers to search the vehicle, where they discovered 44 bags of cannabis along with 30 bags containing what is believed to be cocaine and MDMA. Authorities also found an air rifle, cash, and suspected stolen property.

The suspect, a 20-year-old man, was found to have multiple outstanding warrants for his arrest. He was set to appear in Manukau District Court today, facing charges of possession for supply of cannabis, cocaine, and ecstasy, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia and computer-related offenses.

Inspector Cook praised both the vigilant member of the public who reported the vehicle and the proactive police work that led to the seizure.

    Cuzzy-Bro will now play the game via his rules, (and usually with gang connections…:-) and NOT the governments, as there are hungry children on the Marae, in the extended Whanau, and frozen one-meal-a-day school lunches that resemble Michelle (Michael) Obama’s GULAG lunches that were present for a short time in the U.S. are simply not cutting it!
    The Uni-Party Leaders need a vacation to Vorkuta, Magadan, and Perm 36 in order to experience GULAG conditions that the schools and parts of society have now become, especially with limited ‘menu options’, bullying, harassment and despair, just like the school environments in the West today, including the perverted policies that are seemingly ongoing in the schools and poorer ‘communi(s)ties

    This is why the U.S. has the Second Amendment…that is, until Martial Law is declared and Constitutional Rights go by the wayside, including the right to firearms used to protect oneself & one’s family from government tyranny in a gradually-encroaching police state…
