Around 17 kilograms of methamphetamine, with a street value of $17 million, has been seized following a joint investigation by Counties Manukau Police and Customs.
Operation Cossack was a seven-month joint operation into the alleged importing of methamphetamine by a member of the Thailand Chapter of the Bandidos Motor Cycle Gang.
Along with the drugs, approximately $150,000 of recently purchased jewellery and $200,000 cash were also recovered.
Three people have now been arrested and charged with importing methamphetamine, supplying methamphetamine and money laundering.
Detective Senior Sergeant Albie Alexander of the Counties Manukau Organised Crime Unit says the drugs recovered were destined for the New Zealand market.
