Five arrests have been made and drugs seized as Police target drug dealing in Ōpōtiki.

Four search warrants were carried out on Wednesday 15 September, at Ōpōtiki addresses believed to be involved in the sale or supply of controlled drugs.

Drugs and evidence of drug dealing were seized and five people arrested.

Of serious concern is the dealing from one address where children and young people were present and implicated in the supply of cannabis.
