flag Vietnamese man sentenced in Auckland for cannabis cultivation and supply, eight years after initial raid and re-arrest with nearly 5kg of drugs.

flag Dinh Vuong, a 41-year-old Vietnamese overstayer, was sentenced in Auckland for cannabis cultivation and supply, eight years after evading justice following a 2018 raid that uncovered over 140 plants and equipment. flag In 2022, he was re-arrested with nearly 5kg of packaged cannabis, cash, and money laundering evidence. flag He claimed the stash was leftover from 2018, but the judge rejected this as not credible, noting all prior plants had been destroyed. flag His co-defendant, Thi Thai Van, 57, awaits sentencing. flag Vuong received a reduced sentence due to over four months in custody and years under strict electronic monitoring, including house arrest, though the court emphasized the seriousness of his crimes.
