    More than 23 kilos of meth and one thousand MDMA pills have been seized in Wellington

    More than 23 kilos of meth and one thousand MDMA pills have been seized in Wellington


    A joint Police and Customs investigation - Operation Armani - has identified drug smuggling into New Zealand over several months.

    Police searches also turned up a loaded pistol and ammunition.

    Four men, aged 26-to-30, face serious charges - and have appeared in the Lower Hutt and Wellington District Courts .

    The meth has a street value of more than eight-million-dollars - and the MDMA was worth 50-thousand.
