$50,000 of cannabis found at Rotorua Airport

---

11 July 2002

Cannabis with a potential value of $56,640 was found in an Edgecumbe man's bag at Rotorua Airport, the Tauranga District Court has been told.
Police say Karl Harold Rangiaho, 38, was found at the airport on April 27 with 2.91kg of high quality cannabis.

Rangiaho admitted a charge of possession of cannabis for supply.

Police said the cannabis would normally be sold as bullets, or tinnies, for $20 each and at that rate Rangiaho had the potential to make a profit in the vicinity of $56,640.

Judge Richard Watson remanded Rangiaho on bail until August 13 for sentencing.
