Summary
A routine Friday night traffic stop in central Auckland turned explosive when police found a car packed with drugs, weapons, cash, and even a one-kilogram silver bar. Two men are now facing serious charges — the 53-year-old with possession of firearms, meth, cocaine, cannabis, ecstasy, and $26K in outstanding fines; the 37-year-old charged for trying to jump into the police car to talk to his buddy while in custody. The haul? $30K in cash, a taser, knife, gun, and pounds of illicit drugs — all stemming from a simple sighting of drug paraphernalia. One’s in court Saturday, the other on September 10th.
