Waikato police, in a joint operation with Auckland and Bay of Plenty police, yesterday seized methamphetamine, cash, firearms and chemicals from properties in Cambridge, Waitomo and Oruanui, north of Taupo.

A year-long police operation has uncovered one of New Zealand's biggest-ever P lab set-ups operating in the Waikato.

This week's bust saw Waikato police join with police from Auckland and Bay of Plenty to seize methamphetamine, cash, firearms and chemicals from properties in Cambridge, Waitomo and Oruanui, north of Taupo.

About 80 officers swooped on the properties as part of Operation Sonny, an investigation set up to find David John Harries. Harries, who was one of four people arrested after the raids, had been on the run since December 2010 after breaching his parole conditions.

Detective Senior Sergeant Nigel Keall, of the Waikato CIB, said yesterday's raids, the result of a 14-month investigation, uncovered one of the biggest, if not the biggest, P operation the country.

Two men and a woman were at the Oruanui property where a number of firearms, a methamphetamine laboratory, and large quantities of chemicals, methamphetamine and cash were recovered.

One man stopped by armed police as he left an outbuilding was carrying two bags, inside which police found about $800,000 worth of P and $157,000 in cash, Mr Keall said.

Also found at the Oruanui property was a loaded, functioning military-style semi-automatic rifle, and a loaded handgun behind the back seat of a car.

Police, including a specialist drugs unit, spent yesterday combing the three properties to recover evidence, with the search scheduled to resume today.

Mr Keall said that further large quantities of P and cash had been seized from the Oruanui property, but not yet "quantified". A "significant" organised crime gang was behind the P lab, he said.

In the 14-month investigation police used what Mr Keall described as "technically advanced" techniques. It is understood the big break in the case came through late last year.

Two men, aged 43 and 56, appeared in Taupo District Court yesterday on charges relating to the manufacture and supply of P.

A 50-year-old man appeared in Hamilton District Court yesterday on three P charges. A 28-year-old woman arrested at a Waitomo property also appeared on drugs charges.
