More than 470,000 has been forfeited -- after a meth dealing bust in Gisborne

Three people were convicted in Gisborne District Court between November 2019 and February 2020 -- for supplying and selling the drug in the city.

As part of Operation Pinyin, police sought the forfeiture of 470,000 dollars in cash from the High Court.

Detective Inspector Craig Hamilton says it's a great result for the Gisborne community -- but people need to remain vigilant to suspicious activity.
