Firearms, drugs and what appears to be a dismantled meth lab have been found during the search of two Hauraki properties.

And as a result, Eastern Waikato Police say the community can feel confident that officers are successfully disrupting the area's drug trade.

Detective Sergeant Martyn Hughes of the Coromandel-Hauraki CIB says two properties were searched by police this morning with the assistance of the Waikato Armed Offenders Squad.

'The first property searched was in the settlement of Turua,” he says, 'where two firearms and a quantity of cannabis were recovered and a man in his 40s is currently assisting us with our inquiries.

'The second property we searched was an industrial site in Paeroa, where a pistol and what appears to be a disassembled clandestine methamphetamine laboratory were recovered.

'An Auckland-based Clan Lab team is currently conducting a forensic analysis of the scene and a 37-year-old woman is assisting us with our inquiries into this property.”

Martyn says police are looking into the likelihood of the pair facing firearms and drug related charges.

'Given the success of last month's methamphetamine-related warrants in Te Aroha and today's activities, I believe the benefits of the community working with police to reduce the harm from drugs is becoming readily apparent.

'If you have information on illegal drug activity going on in your area, contact your local police. Your call will be treated in confidence.”
