    Three men involved in the biggest methamphetamine seizure at the border New Zealand law enforcers had ever seen have been jailed

    Three men involved in the biggest methamphetamine seizure at the border New Zealand law enforcers had ever seen have been jailed


    Customs discovered over 713-kilograms of the drug hidden in maple syrup bottles from Canada in January 2023.

    There was enough of the drug to roughly supply every addict in the country for a year.

    The men involved in the New Zealand side of the importation were sentenced today in the High Court at Auckland.

    Wenfu Zhang received a 10 year 10 month sentence for one charge of importing methamphetamine.

    Tayzel Tini and Liam Prasad each received seven years and two months on one possession for supply charge.
