The 34-year-old man was stopped by police on Cotton Street in Hamilton.

They say he had a high powered taser, ammunition, methamphetamine utensils and more than $10,000 in cash.

Detective Inspector Graham Pitkethley says some people have been continuing illegal activity, even during the nation wide lockdown.
