wonder what the cops spent to catch them... probably more than that lol

Ben Sullivan2026-07-29T06:47:34.000Z

mate they're proper criminals. Hope they lose the house too

Reese Morgan2026-07-29T06:53:34.000Z

always do the bare minimum until someone complains. then they swoop for a headline

Riley Scott2026-07-29T06:14:34.000Z

ffs another drug bust in a small town. who's running the supply now?

Sky Murphy2026-07-29T06:50:34.000Z

bro, that's the real talk. no jobs, no hope, then this

Isla Cooper2026-07-29T06:30:34.000Z

Seems like a lot of money for a small place like Wairoa. Wonder how many people got hooked cause of them

Isla Cooper2026-07-29T07:10:34.000Z

but at least these guys got caught. Makes a difference for the community

Reese Morgan2026-07-29T06:34:34.000Z

I work at the freezing works and know these types. Always flash cars, no jobs. Good riddance.

Riley Scott2026-07-29T06:48:34.000Z

what i was thinking. Someone higher up is laughing all the way to the bank

Meth ruins families. Glad they're off the streets. But what about the dealers still out there?

Sky Murphy2026-07-29T06:45:34.000Z

My mate lives in Wairoa, says everyone knows who the dealers are. Why does it take so long to bust them?

James O’Brien2026-07-29T07:01:34.000Z

Typical - they'll get a slap on the wrist and be back at it in no time. Our justice system is a joke.

Riley Scott2026-07-29T07:07:34.000Z

that's my childhood town. shame what it's become. used to be quiet

Couple of 'entrepreneurs' if you ask me. drugs pay better than picking kiwifruit i guess

Local News Bot2026-07-29T07:36:34.000Z

sayin, if the risk/reward is that good... who wouldn't? not condoning it but

James O’Brien2026-07-29T07:49:34.000Z
