The Commissioner of the New Zealand Police (NZP), Mr Howard Broad, and Assistant Commissioner, Mr Jon White, presented Certificates of Appreciation to Narcotics Bureau (NB) Chief Superintendent Peter Else and nine other NB officers on June 11 for their contribution to combating transnational crime.

In mid-2006, NB conducted a joint operation in New Zealand with the NZP and the New Zealand Customs Service to combat transnational drug trafficking, resulting in the arrest of six persons and seizure of 95 kg of methamphetamine (ICE), 155 kg of ICE precursor, six handguns and one M16 rifle. The drug has an estimated retail value of HK$700 million.

Prior to the presentation, Mr Broad paid a courtesy call on Commissioner Tang King-shing.
