Two men have been arrested on the West Coast amid a police operation
investigating drug sales in the area.


The men, aged 21 and 22, were arrested in Hokitika and Dobson after four
search warrants were executed.


"A considerable amount of packaged MDMA that was ready for distribution, with
an approximate street value of $5000, was located and seized, along with
$9000 in cash, cannabis, and stolen property," a police spokesperson said.


The men are set to appear in Greymouth District Court, facing a number of
drug-related charges.


"More charges are expected," police said.

"Police would like to thank the West Coast communities for their ongoing
support with providing information to keep our community safe."


Anyone with information on the sale of illegal drugs was urged to call 105.


"Police are committed to investigating both individuals and organised
criminal groups who cause harm to the community through distribution of
controlled drugs," Detective Sergeant Ian McKinnon said.
