Three men have been sentenced in the biggest cross-border drug bust of methamphetamine in New Zealand history, coming after more than 713 kilograms of the drug was found hidden inside maple syrup bottles shipped from Vancouver.
The High Court in Auckland, New Zealand, sentenced Wenfu Zhang, 31, to 10 years and 10 months for importing the meth, along with handing seven year sentences to Tayzel Tini and Liam Prasad for acting as “catchers” whose job was to unpack the drug shipment on arrival in New Zealand.
Police records show that two of the men sentenced were born in New Zealand and one was born in China, according to an Oct. 3 email from a New Zealand Police spokesperson to The Epoch Times….
