25 September 2008
Police still look for 14 people after massive drug bust in Wgtn yesterday which netted meth, cannabis, ecstasy and LSD
Wellington police are alarmed at the number of children being raised by or around drug users.
73 people have been arrested on serious drugs charges following a three month investigation. They face a raft of charges relating to manufacturing, distributing and using Class A and B drugs. Methamphetamine, cannabis, ecstasy and LSD have been found at a number of residential properties around the region. Police are after another 14 people, who they suspect will face similar charges.
Detective Senior Sergeant Darrin Thomson says they found half a dozen kids aged between three and 14 years living at the properties they raided. He says they are working with the relevant government agencies to ensure they are taken care of.
