The daughter of Tauranga businessman Gary Read has pleaded guilty to her part in a drug ring that imported chemicals used to manufacture P from Thailand.

Kahsharn Read, 25, appeared in Rotorua High Court yesterday where she admitted to nine charges including importing methamphetamine precursor chemicals.

On Monday her father Gary John Read pleaded guilty to 74 charges including 71 counts of importing pseudoephedrine, possession of pseudoephedrine and methamphetamine for supply, participating in an organised criminal group and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Read, who was the director of NZ Party Pills Ltd and Internet Sales Ltd, was arrested as part of an operation by the Organised and Financial Crime Agency (OFCANZ) in 2011.

Detectives of the OFCANZ say more than 70 packages of pseudoephedrine were smuggled into NZ between June 2009 and September 2011.

Read's daughter Kahsharn was also arrested in 2011. She was remanded on bail and will reappear in court on June 6 for a call-over where a sentencing date is expected to be set.
