Two people are due in court today after calling Police to report an unwanted visitor at their Newtown address.
Police were called to the property in the early hours of this morning after a person was reported to be refusing to leave.
While officers were still on the phone with the caller, she was allegedly overheard telling her partner to hide drugs before Police arrived.
Inspector Dean Silvester, Wellington Area Commander, says officers attended the address to deal with the trespass matter before subsequently obtaining a search warrant.
“A search of the property located drugs including ecstasy, methamphetamine and cocaine, in quantities sufficient to support supply-related charges.
“I commend our staff for their vigilance.
“We see firsthand the harm caused by drugs and addiction, and we take a firm approach to removing drugs from our communities.”
A 29-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man have been remanded in custody and are due to appear in Wellington District Court today on drug-related charges.
Police encourage anyone to report suspicious or unlawful behaviour through 111 if it is happening now, or via 105. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
