Twenty-four arrests, drugs, guns and cash seized in year long police operation…

Bloody hell, another year long operation and they've only arrested 24 people? Must be nice to have a job where you can literally take a year to do what a decent dog could do in a week. And of course it's all guns and cash, no mention if any of these blokes are the ones actually causing trouble in our neighbourhoods.

literally 2 people a month lol. They could've just stood outside a pub in South Auckland and got that in a night.

oh look, more performative policing. Must be election season or something. 'Year long operation' probably means they spent 11 months filing paperwork and 1 month actually doing something.

Facts. Let them do actual time and maybe people will stop signing up to the life.

Actually curious - where exactly did they seize these? My flat got broken into last month and cops took 3 hours to show up... meanwhile they've got time for year long ops?

Good on them. But until sentencing actually means something these idiots will be back on the street within a year. NZ 'justice' is a joke.

lol 24 arrests across the entire North Island in a year??? That's like 2 per month. The gang patch runs deeper than this.

My neighbour's son is a cop - he says they're stretched thin and these operations take months of intel gathering. Easy to criticise from the couch though.

Yeah nah get stuffed. We pay their wages to protect us, not play 'tactical' for a year while actual crime runs rampant.

Sky Murphy2026-06-30T09:40:35.000Z

that's a fair point actually. my cousin's a cop too and says morale is in the bin. just frustrating when you're a victim of crime and feel invisible.

Grace Patel2026-06-30T09:38:35.000Z

I get why people are frustrated, but 24 arrests + cash + guns = 24 fewer dealers on the street. That's a win in my books.
