    A 66-year-old Auckland man's been arrested today for allegedly smuggling 10 kilograms of the illegal drug commonly known as kamini pills from India

    A 66-year-old Auckland man's been arrested today for allegedly smuggling 10 kilograms of the illegal drug commonly known as kamini pills from India


    Kamini is a type of traditional Indian herbal medicine. The import, supply and possession without a prescription is prohibited in New Zealand.

    Chief Customs Officer Fraud and Prohibition Nigel Barnes says the intelligence-led investigation followed the illicit supply chain from the border, through to its community distribution.

    The pills were found concealed in packets of snacks.

    The man will appear in the Manukau District Court this afternoon.
