June 2016, Far North, New Zealand.
The job seemed simple: leave Auckland, pick up 500kg of meth from Ninety-Mile Beach and drive it back south, while keeping a low profile.
How hard could that be?
This is the true story of one of New Zealand’s biggest ever drug busts, and how those responsible almost got away with half a tonne of crystal meth. Oh, and half a billion dollars.
But thanks to the sleuthing skills of Ahipara’s good-hearted locals – and a series of unbelievable faux-pas by the drug-smugglers – police managed to catch the crims.
They say fact is stranger than fiction, and in this case it is. Stranger, and funnier. It’s a story like no other. This is Far North.
