A 30-year-old man has appeared in court after Police uncovered drugs, cash and suspected stolen property at a Cannons Creek address in Porirua.
The arrest follows an investigation into alleged illicit drug dealing in the local community.

Four people were present at the address and were taken into custody without incident.
The man faces charges including possession of methamphetamine for supply, possession of ecstasy for supply, possession of a cannabis plant, possession of cocaine and unlawful possession of ammunition. He has been remanded in custody and is due to reappear in Porirua District Court on 12 May.
