New Zealand food bank distributes candy made from lethal amount of addictive drug
- A charity working with homeless people in Auckland, New Zealand unknowingly distributed candies filled with a potentially lethal dose of methamphetamine - also known as ice or crystal meth - in its food parcels after the sweets were donated by a member of the public.
Three people were treated in hospital after consuming them, New Zealand authorities said, but were later discharged. Ben Birks Ang, a Foundation spokesperson, said disguising drugs as innocuous goods was a common cross-border smuggling technique and more of the candies might have been distributed throughout New Zealand.
The authorities’ “initial perceptions” were that the episode was likely an importation scheme gone awry, said Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin, but the nature and scale of the operation was unknown. Officers have recovered 16 of the candies, but do not know how many are circulating, he said.
