2 charged with drug supply after police raid

  • 21/07/2016

A Hastings woman and her son have been charged with supplying cannabis after police raided their property on Thursday.

Police recovered cash and ammunition as well as cannabis during the raid.

The 17-year-old man has also been charged with supplying an underage person with cannabis.

Detective Sergeant Craig Vining says police will continue to target drug dealers in the community, calling the industry "brutal and unforgiving".

"Drug supply causes significant harm," he says.

"The people charged today have previously been victims of violence as a result of their own offending."

Police encourage anyone who knows of drug dealing in the area to contact them on (06) 831 0700, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Both the 17-year-old and the woman, 44, will appear in the Hastings District Court next week.
