    Customs and Police are taking every effort to stamp out an organised crime syndicate operating out of Auckland Airport

    Customs and Police are taking every effort to stamp out an organised crime syndicate operating out of Auckland Airport

    They've made 43 arrests since February - including eight 28 Brotherhood MC gang members this week.

    The syndicate's allegedly employed baggage handlers to smuggle large quantities of meth and cocaine.

    Customs investigations manager Dominic Adams says cross-agency enforcement teams are patrolling - and authorities are intelligence-sharing with overseas partners.

    He says the intelligence is used to target within New Zealand - so those international networks of Police and Customs liason officers are critical.
