A man is facing a range of charges after Police seized over 100 cannabis plants, a firearm, and ammunition in Greymouth.

About 12:30pm on Monday (25 August) Police executed a search warrant at an address in Cobden.

During the search of the property Police uncovered an indoor grow setup with over 100 cannabis plants, a rifle, and a small amount of ammunition.

The warrant is part of Tasman Police’s continued effort to crack down on criminals profiting from the sale of drugs.

Northlanders thinking they can get away with driving after a few drinks are more likely to be stopped, with Police calling out a “reckless culture” amongst some.

It comes after Northland Police conducted 37,000 breath tests across the region within the past two months.

Police officers in a variety of roles are all playing their part in reducing harm on their roads, Northland’s Road Policing Manager Inspector John Fagan says.

In the past week alone 5,500 breath screening tests were carried out as part of regular duties.
