Wellington

Police have arrested five Wellingtonians and restrained hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets following a long-running investigation into the importation and sale of a Class C drug.

The operation began in November last year and focussed on the importation of N-Ethylpentylone — a relatively new Class C controlled drug commonly referred to as Brown Sugar, Mephedrone or Drone — into the Wellington region.
