A British man who moved into an inner-city Auckland apartment as a babysitter for a large methamphetamine stash, worth about $27 million, has been jailed.
Neil John Wilkinson was sentenced to 17 years and six months this morning, in the High Court at Auckland by Justice Paul Davison.
Wilkinson had been arrested as part of a major drug investigation by the National Organised Crime Group, dubbed Operation Essex.
In November, a jury found him guilty of one charge of possession of methamphetamine for supply.
