Four people have been handed lengthy jail terms following a million dollar methamphetamine bust in central Wellington last March.
The raid on a Chews Lane apartment, just a block from the central city police station, found 1.2 kilograms of the drug.
Kevin Chea [cheer] and Kien Dao [key-en dow] were last month found guilty of eight charges including importing, supplying and possessing a Class A drug for supply, and receiving stolen property.
In the High Court in Wellington today, they were sentenced to 17 and 15 years in jail respectively, with minimum terms of eight and a half and seven and a half years each.
Justice Robert Dobson told Chea he considered him the boss of the operation.
Another man, Michael Debreceny [debra-SEE-nee] has been sentenced to nine and a half years jail for importing, while Abby Cummins will serve three and a half years for possessing methamphetamine for supply.
