Meth use dropped 50% in Ōpōtiki after police dismantled a gang's meth network, aided by community support.
Methamphetamine use nationwide surged to record levels in late 2024, fueled by increased supply from Mexican cartels and Asian syndicates, but Ōpōtiki saw a 50% decline after police dismantled a Mongrel Mob distribution network in Operation Highwater.
Wastewater data showed sustained monthly drops in meth levels over three months, linked to the removal of key gang members.
The $720,000 operation enabled community and iwi-led support services, including housing and family assistance, though officials stress long-term efforts are needed to maintain progress.
