October 25, 2018

Three men and three women have been arrested on drug and firearm-related charges after police raids in Hawke's Bay today.

Police say firearms, large quantities of cash and methamphetamine, LSD, cannabis and equipment used to manufacture methamphetamine were seized as officers executed search warrants in Napier and Hastings.

The raids were the culmination of Eastern District Organised Crime Unit's Operation Chrome, which targets drug dealers in the region, police say.

Detective Inspector Mike Foster says the operation has been extremely successful.

"We are completely committed to exposing and apprehending those who choose to deal harmful drugs," he said in a statement.

"The physical and social carnage that many of these drugs cause to our communities, especially methamphetamine, is unacceptable and we are committed to lessening that harm and holding those responsible to account," Mr Foster said.
