Police are expected to brief media at 11am about "New Zealand's involvement in a large-scale transnational operation targeting organised crime groups".
It comes as raids were carried out across the world overnight, including in the United States, Europe and Australia, after mobsters were snared by a FBI trojan horse application.
10:10am - In case you missed it, National Organised Crime Group Director Detective Superintendent Greg Williams will be providing a briefing to media at 11am regarding the operation.
9:40am - Lyn Riesterer, the Mayor of Ōpōtiki, where there reportedly was a heavy police presence at a property overnight, has told Newshub she is only aware of the information in the media.
"I would say that anything that is helping keep our communities safer from drugs I am very positive about. I understand that this is an international organised crime group that the police are looking at and I wish them all the luck in getting everybody who is involved in this.
"Anything that helps police rid us of any type of drugs or crime, organised crime, is a real plus as far as I am concerned."
