    Over the weekend, it says 50 kilograms of meth was found in bags on a flight from San Fransisco, and two kilograms were concealed in a suitcase.

    Last Tuesday officers also seized more than 23 kilograms of meth and cocaine in unaccompanied bags from Honolulu.

    Customs says the combined street value would've been about 29-million dollars, and caused 77-million dollars in potential harm and cost to New Zealand.
