Police have arrested 22 people across Northland in a series of raids to try to stop the supply of methamphetamine in the region.
Dozens of search warrants were executed in Whangarei, Dargaville, Kawakawa, Moerewa, Kaikohe, Kaitaia and Awanui over the last three days, police said.
Eleven men and 11 women, ranging in age from 18 to 57, have been arrested and will appear in court on a range of drug and other charges.
Several of those arrested were patched gang members or associates.
Police also seized 71 grams of methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of $35,000, as well as cannabis.
Other items seized included three firearms, a taser, ammunition, around $40,000 in cash and stolen property worth thousands of dollars.
Whangarei area commander Inspector Justin Rogers said police were committed to disrupting the supply and distribution of illegal drugs in the community.
"We know the devastating harm that methamphetamine causes to users and these arrests will go a long way toward reducing the supply chain of methamphetamine in Northland," he said.
"There is a significant methamphetamine issue in Northland, however it is not a problem which is isolated to this region - it is an issue across the country."
