Another victory in the war on P. May there be many more victories like this!

Methanphetamine and P (Pure Meth) affects us all in so many ways. It is great to see another large catch reported in the news today.

Good job Customs!

The following was posted today and is breaking news on TV One:

Ten Malaysian drug couriers have been caught at Auckland International Airport carrying around $10 million of methamphetamine or "P" in their shoes.
Customs said it was the most drug-couriers caught in a single incident at the border.
The eight men and two women were each concealing between 800g and a kilo of the drug when they arrived on the flight from Malaysia yesterday.
They were due to appear in the Manukau District Court today.
Customs Drug Investigations Manager Mark Day said officers searching the bags of two of the group referred them for a personal search, and in both cases P was detected in their shoes.
After the two were searched the remainder of the group were located by Customs officers and airport police. Some were still in the Customs hall, while others had left.
All were then searched and found to be carrying P in their shoes.
Day said the fact that officers had closely questioned two of the group for immigration purposes had slowed down their progress and contributed to the arrest of all 10.
"By embedding themselves in what appear to be legitimate tour groups, these criminals are trying to assume normal travel patterns so that they will not be targeted as high risk," he said.
"We had a similar attempt by a Taiwanese tour group last year, but they too were caught out by vigilant Customs officers. It's work our officers can be very proud of."
Customs Minister Maurice Williamson said it was a landmark interception of a "vile drug".
"Our diligent Customs officers have again proved if you bring drugs into our country you will get caught," Williamson said.

Hmm. Shall we try them under the laws of their own country?

What's the penalty for drug smuggling in Malaysia?

good on Customs, hope the courts don't screw it up. Bugger the courts just ship them back home with their P and let their country deal to them.

The "War on P" will only be won when people stop using it. I for one see no crime in people importing the stuff. It, like many other mind-altering substances, is completely harmless until it is consumed.

P has become the drug of choice for a wide number of New Zealanders -- including many who should know better, but who believe that they need to get off their faces to have a good time, preferably with the same drugs their "mates" are using.

One suspects that there are many KB members who use P as one of their party-time favourites. One could be charitable at this point and call them braindead fucktards, or perhaps something worse. But that could be inflamatory and upset them.

They had speed in their shoes and they didn't try and run? dumbarses

Heh that is gold. You don't call them brain dead fucktards.
And they keep their grammar correct.

What a fucked up world we live in.

You missed out on yet another ''internal'' search Cam?....
Pucker up Charlie im coming in....

[Laava]

A million bucks a kilo? Holy shit!

[Smifffy]

On one of those 'reality' cop shows the other night, some dude arrested & charged with posession of P, along with a couple of other charges received of sentence of about 8 months supervision.

Great work customs, but the judiciary don't believe there is a war on P.

For the amount of misery that judges see before them, that can be attributed to the shit, I'll be fucked if I know why the judges don't come down hard on anyone that has anything to do with it.

And what about the rest of the community? Surely we as citizens only need a judiciary if we're not prepared to do our bit. We could start by telling people we know who use P and similar products that they're dickhead losers. We could give their names and the names of their dealers to the local Police. We could get Child Youth and Family to take their kids off them, as dickhead losers rarely have parents or other family members who are up to such a task. We could report them to their employers. There's a bunch of stuff that us poor citizens could do that would work way better than a Court locking people up for a while.

You're probably right. Luckily I don't know anyone that does the shit (to my knowledge), and wouldn't have anything to do with anyone that does. I don't doubt that it is rife in this town though.

dickheads paranoid if not before the P certainly after therefore they already 'know' you have reported them and having taken precautions. If you know any of these dickheads then for your own safety you are better reporting them.

As long as man himself has been around, man has wanted to get 'high'. And as long as it's illegal, it'll be worth a fortune and create millions for the criminals peddling it.

I always wonder why not more is said about the misery alcohol creates. Maybe simply because nearly everyone sees it as ok as it's legal?

Too fucking true. Legalize the lot and regulate the fuck of it.

We had a major distribution P wholesaler across the road, even after telling the cops, it kept up for the next 2 years. The businessman made a stack and moved his premises up the road to a real flash location.

Articles like this are but a smoke screen, and tell law abiding folk 'something is being done', while it appears many operators in NZ are left alone
