A 34-year-old woman has been charged with drug offences following a Taranaki Police investigation into methamphetamine dealing.
The woman was arrested at a Hawera property today following the execution of a search warrant, which was carried out by officers from South and North Taranaki CIB, with assistance from other officers.
Police uncovered a cannabis grow room, a quantity of methamphetamine, LSD, ecstasy, cannabis, and cash at the address.
