I found an article titled Major Methamphetamine Dealer Jailed from the Press Newspaper out of New Zealand. This article told about a major methamphetamine dealer named Rongjun Sui who was caught when police searched his house near Park Terrace in central Christchurch. Sui was caught with 881 grams of methamphetamine as well as cash of $25,650. He received a nine year and four month sentence from Justice Fogarty. Sui did plead guilty, but he had little choice considering the police caught him red handed.
Is methamphetamine a major problem in New Zealand? It is a major problem here in Fargo. The Midwest is thought to be one of the hotspots in entire country of meth users and dealers. A major thing that the police do in this area is informational classes regarding the effects of meth usage. I attended one of these classes that was offered here, at NDSU. I have to say that the police did a good job of presenting this information and warning students. Is this being done in New Zealand? Another thing that the US has done to hinder the manufacturing of meth is to limit and regulate the buying of certain chemicals that are used to make meth. Store clerks are supposed to keep track of who is buying these products and inform the authorities if anything is suspected. Is anything like this being done in New Zealand? From my understanding, the usage of meth has gone down in the area testifying to the efforts of the police in the area.
