Customs investigations manager Bruce Berry joins Mike Yardley to talk about Customs latest bust at Auckland Airport.

Four people have been charged after 22 kilograms of drugs was found in suitcases at the airport yesterday.

Two Kiwis coming back from Argentina were found with seven kilos of cocaine paste with a value of about 2-million-dollars.

In a separate case the same day, two Canadians were caught with nearly 7-point-5-million dollars of methamphetamine in their luggage.

Berry says both parties were caught using different means.

He says those with cocaine were caught by advanced passenger information, where they were identified by suspicious movements.

The others with methamphetamine met some of Customs' risk indicators and were pulled up.
