An alleged "inside man" at Tauranga's port has been arrested as part of what police say is a plot to smuggle hundreds of kilograms of cocaine and methamphetamine from Mexico into New Zealand.
Eight members of the alleged syndicate were last week charged with various drug offences after an eight-month covert investigation by the National Organised Crime Group and Customs investigators.
