Several types of illegal drugs and a BB gun were allegedly found in a vehicle stopped with help from the police’s Eagle helicopter while travelling through east Auckland.

Counties Manukau East Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Rakana Cook, says the Eagle’s became aware of a vehicle travelling with stolen plates before 7pm on Thursday.

“The vehicle was travelling along Pakuranga Road and units were directed to its location as it pulled into a petrol station in Highland Park.

“Ground units approached the vehicle, and officers noticed drug paraphernalia inside alongside the two occupants.”

A search of the vehicle was invoked, and a quantity of methamphetamine, cannabis, and drug utensils were located, as well as a BB gun.

A 34-year-old man was taken into custody and charges for him are being considered.

“We’re pleased to have made an arrest on this matter,” Cook says.
