Three people have been arrested after 3 kilograms of liquid methamphetamine was found inside two parcels that had been sent from Thailand to a Wellington address. Customs staff intercepted the first courier package, containing 2kg of the drug, in March. The agency then launched a joint operation with police, called Operation Torpedo, and another 1kg of meth was seized from a second parcel in late April. In total, the haul equated to 60,000 doses of methamphetamine.

A Wellington man s rape charges have been dismissed due to the decades-long delay in laying the charges, and the fact he was a teenager when the alleged offences happened.
The judge confirmed the man, who cannot be named due to a pending application for name suppression, wouldn t have been able to evade the court process if any of the alleged offending had happened when he was an adult, despite the fact it took 43 years for the matter to come to court.
