    Nearly 245-thousand dollars is to be forfeited to the Crown ... after an investigation into the drug-related business dealings of Daren Standen


    Standen came to police attention during a 2020 family harm incident in Christchurch.

    Police found a large sum of cash, and methamphetamine and utensils in a car.

    The 60 year old was sentenced to home detention, after pleading guilty.

    In the High Court, Justice Gerald Nation has ruled the cash, and a 2003 Audi Quattro be forfeited.

    The car's whereabouts isn't known and Police are appealing for information.
