Dozens of arrests over unattended bags of drugs at Auckland airport
Twenty-seven people have been arrested following a joint police-customs investigation involving the importation of significant quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine into New Zealand through unattended baggage. A major transnational organised crime syndicate was allegedly working with local gangs to smuggle the Class A drugs through unattended baggage on international flights — primarily through Auckland International Airport, Detective Inspector Tom Gollan said. The first phase of Operation Matata led to the arrests of 18 people on serious criminal and drug charges on June 24. It was followed by a second phase in which police and customs investigators searched 19 properties across the Auckland region yesterday, leading to nine arrests.

During the course of the investigation, customs — working alongside US authorities — seized 631 kilograms of methamphetamine and 112 kilograms of cocaine. "Putting it into perspective, this seizure would have provided nearly every Kiwi roughly six doses of methamphetamine each." Stacks of cash stored in shoe boxes. (Source: NZ Police) The latest interception involved a baggage handler who allegedly attempted to smuggle 50 kilograms of methamphetamine aboard a flight from Malaysia on June 18. 'It will be alleged one of the arrested individuals gained unauthorised airside access at Auckland International Airport and was observed piloting a baggage cart towards the aircraft,' he said. 'The man's attempts were thwarted by a swift and coordinated response from police, Customs and other agencies.' ADVERTISEMENT Gollan said the investigation "has exposed and disrupted a significant threat to New Zealand". "Police will allege the group's operation involved placing unaccompanied bags on international flights, which were then covertly removed on arrival in Auckland by corrupt baggage handlers to avoid security protocols." 'A dangerous threat to the wider community' Unattended baggage containing Class A drugs. (Source: NZ Police ) Since the beginning of this year, the joint operation has disrupted and intercepted multiple drug shipments bound for New Zealand on flights originating from Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Santiago, Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Customs investigations manager Dominic Adams said New Zealand's volume of legitimate trade and travel meant the risk of criminal infiltration was very real. 'In tandem with the police and our international partners and industry stakeholders, customs is continuing to protect communities from the organised criminal groups who are attempting to exploit our international supply chains," he said. "These individuals are abusing their positions of trust to carry out crime, which not only affects New Zealand's reputation as a safe place to do business but poses a dangerous threat to the wider community by bringing extremely harmful drugs into New Zealand. 'These arrests send a clear message that Customs and our agency and industry partners are tackling this issue head on, and a potential criminal conviction awaits those who choose to subvert the supply chain for their own gains.'

Zayne Gordon jailed for attempting to set Kaikohe police station on fire to impress a woman
By Shannon Pitman, Open Justice reporter of Zayne Gordon attempted to set the Kaikohe Police station on fire with a Molotov cocktail. Photo: Open Justice / NZME A man who tried to set fire to a police station in a bid to impress a woman has been jailed for two years and three months. But during his sentencing, the judge offered some blunt advice on his approach to romance. "Any woman who's impressed by you burning a police station isn't worth impressing," Judge Gene Tomlinson told the Kaikohe man. Zayne Gordon, 31, appeared in the Whangārei District Court for sentencing today on one charge each of attempted arson, strangulation and driving while disqualified. He was first charged with driving while disqualified in 2022 and put on bail. While on bail, he turned up unannounced at his ex-partner's house on 8 December 2023, and she told him to leave. He became angry, followed her up the hallway and put his hands around her neck, lifting her off the ground. The victim's legs were kicking and she was struggling to breathe before he dropped her to the ground. He was placed on bail again but missed two judge-alone trials for his driving charge and while on the run, strung out on meth, he chose to offend again. Around 3.15am on 12 December 2024, CCTV caught Gordon running up the ramp of the front entrance to the Kaikohe police station. He placed a Just Juice bottle that had tissue paper coming out of the top, essentially a Molotov cocktail, at the front door. After setting the tissue alight, Gordon exited the view of the security camera. When the tissue went out, Gordon returned and lit the bottle again. This time it caught fire and exploded across the doorway, causing black char and cosmetic damage to the front of the station. Throughout the incident, Gordon was recording on a phone and talking to someone off-camera. When arrested, he explained it was not a direct attack on police but that he was trying to impress a girl. His court file listed nearly 30 hearings, including two judge-alone trials where witnesses were called but he failed to appear, along with repeated bail breaches and multiple arrest warrants. Crown lawyer Danica Soich revealed Gordon's meth use started when he was 15, after being introduced to the drug by his mother. Soich said his meth use contributed to his continual poor decisions. "Not only did this potentially risk the safety of the police officers but it would have prevented police from responding to anything else in the community," Soich said. Gordon's lawyer Martin Hislop argued for a sentence of rehabilitation at the Grace Foundation, but Soich submitted his addiction was too severe. Judge Tomlinson said Gordon's actions were foolish and childish. "It's the sort of stuff you expect from a couple of teenagers who would put double happy fireworks into a mailbox, it's just idiotic." He said a police station should not be targeted. "The scale of this is childish, and indeed, an unsophisticated attempt of arson. Essentially, you get the benefit of how hopeless you were at doing at." The judge acknowledged the risk to life was momentary and jailed Gordon for two years and three months on all charges. * This story originally appeared in the New Zealand Herald .
