Auckland Police have seized close to 500 cannabis plants following an operation targeting organised crime groups in the area.

On Tuesday, Police executed four search warrants at properties in Hillsborough, New Windsor, Mount Roskill, and Mount Albert as part of Operation Green.

Acting Senior Sergeant Corey Foster, Auckland City West Police, says the operation targeted organised criminal activity in the area, aiming to shut down any further impact to the community.

“As a result, Police located and dismantled several sophisticated indoor cultivation setups, seizing approximately 486 cannabis plants in varying sizes, along with associated equipment.

“By locating and seizing these cannabis plants, we have prevented them receiving payment that would have gone to fund a range of organised criminal activity in our community.”

Acting Senior Sergeant Foster says although no arrests have been made, he hoped the results would provide some community reassurance.

Police would like to acknowledge the support by members of the public around information on illegal operations occurring within their community.

"We continue to encourage the community to provide us any information on any such concerns they may have,” he says.

"This can be done online or via phone at 105, or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 0800 555 111."

Police are deeply concerned after an Auckland taxi driver was found driving allegedly six times the legal breath alcohol limit.

The driver was working at the time.

Auckland Motorways staff responded to a driving complaint on the South-Western Motorway (SH20) after 2pm on Thursday.

“The taxi van was heading northbound, and another motorist called us reporting the driver had been potentially falling asleep at the wheel,” Senior Sergeant Bill Russell, Auckland Motorways, says.

“While speaking with the call taker, the caller advised the taxi van had several near misses with other motorists on the road.”

As the taxi van neared the Waterview Tunnel, its speed continued to fluctuate between slower and higher speeds.

Motorways units located the van on SH20 near the Mount Albert area.

The 40-year-old male driver was taken into custody for breach alcohol procedures.

Alarmingly, he allegedly returned a result more than six times the legal limit (250mcg).

“It’s deeply concerning to us that a professional driver has been transporting passengers while allegedly under the influence of alcohol,” Senior Sergeant Russell says.

“I shudder to think what might have happened had this man not been stopped.”

Senior Sergeant Russsell is praising the actions of the initial caller.

“The person that reported this to us should be commended for seeing something and doing something about it, calling Police.

“I understand the caller also got behind the van and put hazard lights on to try and warn other motorists, and we acknowledge their assistance.”

At this stage the driver has been summonsed to court on a charge of being a transport service driver with breath alcohol over 400mcgs per litre.

Police enquiries are ongoing and further action cannot be ruled out.

Three Police officers had merely minutes to prevent a tragedy.

All three members from the Auckland Police Maritime Unit sprang into action as a vehicle was quickly pulled under water in Okahu Bay on Monday afternoon.

“The first officer entered the water almost immediately and swam to the vehicle,” District Operations Manager, Inspector Vaughn Graham says.

“A second officer entered shortly afterward, with the third officer getting onto the radio calling for additional resources to the scene.”

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹.

“The vehicle was quickly going under water, and the driver was unable to get out of this car, so time was very much of the essence,” he says.

Additional Police units were at the Okahu Bay boat ramp within minutes, with a Police Maritime vessel also arriving into the bay.

A rescue operation was well underway, with frontline Police staff and members of the public lending a hand from pontoons.

Inspector Graham says the vehicle had become submerged.

“An officer used an axe to smash a window to create an escape path for the driver, before swimming him to the pontoon.

“Other officers have provided first aid before ambulance staff were on scene a short time later.”

Inspector Graham commends the Maritime crew’s courage.

“Our team have encountered a risky and life-threatening situation that was rapidly evolving in front of them,” he says.

“They have not hesitated to respond and without a doubt have helped saved a life.”

Police can advise the man was transported to hospital and is receiving support.

Police have busted an offshore criminal cell operating across Auckland, allegedly producing and distributing methamphetamine.

Known as Operation Haste, eight search warrants were executed across various locations in Auckland on Tuesday morning, including Avondale and Pakuranga, resulting in 11 people being arrested.

Detectives from the National Organised Crime Group (NOCG) identified individuals linked to a Transnational Serious and Organised Crime (TSOC) cell who had travelled to New Zealand.

Detective Inspector Tom Gollan says Police will allege these people are responsible for the manufacture and supply of methamphetamine in Auckland.

“We believe this group entered the country specifically to manufacture illicit drugs, supported by several New Zealand-based facilitators.”

He says during the search warrants, which were supported by the Armed Offenders Squad, Police located and seized clandestine laboratory equipment and materials, including an operational laboratory.

“Approximately $200,000 in cash, pseudoephedrine and about 10 kilograms of methamphetamine have also been recovered.”

Detective Inspector Gollan says scene examinations at several of the locations remain ongoing and further charges are likely.

The 11 men, all Chinese and Taiwanese nationals, are aged between 21 and 53 and have since appeared in the Auckland District Court.

They have been charged with possession for supply of methamphetamine, importing precursors and participating in an organised criminal group.

“This operation highlights the ongoing value of strong cooperation with our international partners to rapidly identify and dismantle transnational organised crime groups,” Detective Inspector Gollan says.

“Police have zero tolerance for individuals who come into this country to profit from the harm illicit drugs cause.

“We are very pleased to arrest and hold this group to account.”
Operation Haste marks the 32nd TSOC cell dismantled by NOCG since 2018.
