A five-month operation has culminated in 11 arrests and the recovery of an illicit stash of firearms and drugs, along with nearly NZ$1 million in cash in Auckland this week.
Operation Mexted, a joint investigation run by the National Organised Crime Group (NOCG) and New Zealand Customs, has been targeting a transnational organised criminal cell involved in the smuggling of controlled drugs into New Zealand.
It’s the 29th such cell shut down in New Zealand since 2016.
