    Police and Customs have foiled a Waikato operation importing and selling fantasy drugs

    Police and Customs have foiled a Waikato operation importing and selling fantasy drugs


    Police say they'd noticed a regional spike in importation of drugs including GBL, that when ingested convert to date-rape drug GHB.

    Two property searches on Tuesday uncovered quantities of drugs and pills and ammunition.

    A 40-year-old man and 42-year-old woman are facing charges relating to importing and supplying illegal substances
