Man in Thailand linked to NZ meth operation

AUCKLAND: -- Thailand police have arrested a man they accuse of smuggling large amounts of methamphetamine into New Zealand.

This follows the seizure of drugs in couriered mail hidden in the likes of clutch purses, a flower vase, and car shock absorbers, bound for Auckland from Bangkok.

New Zealand Customs says they worked with Thai law enforcement to crack down on the entire supply chain at both the importer and supplier ends.

Another numb nut will take his / her place in the courier role, SADLY

Wonder if any connection to this recent incident in New Zealand where a Thai woman had been kidnapped, escaped from a car but subsequently died. She had a previous conviction for drug related offences.

Oh? I have seen a movie from New Zealand with that title and from at least 10 years back. I( this a sequel or did you read about it in an old magazine? The movie I saw was not specifically about abusing prescription drugs. It was about a cultural attitude and none too complimentary!

No, you could not have seen a movie by that title. Halloween's comment was a play on words. But, there was a movie titled "Once Were Warriors", released in 1994. There was also a sequel.
