Five people have been arrested at the end of a police investigation into an organised drug ring in Auckland.

A woman and four men now face numerous charges relating to supplying and possession of methamphetamine.

A large amount of cash has been seized along with a stash of the drug, and drug paraphernalia.

They've also identified hundreds of P buyers, and say they'll be following up their details to provide advice about getting off the drug.

Detective Inspector Hayden Mander said the impact of methamphetamine in the community is huge.

“Drug dealers constantly exploit those who are addicted and drive them to commit more crime to fund their habit.

 

All five are remanded in custody and will appear in North Shore District Court today and Monday.
