A sixth man has been arrested for conspiring to deal in methamphetamine after a series of police raids on Head Hunters gang premises last week.
The 31-year-old labourer, Karl Steven Shepherd, appeared in the Christchurch District Court today, a week after the raids.
He is charged with conspiring to supply the class A drug with two of the men who were named as participating in an organised criminal group when they appeared in court last week.
Police allege Shepherd was part of a conspiracy to supply methamphetamine over a short period early in October.
He also faces charges alleging that on Thursday he cultivated cannabis, unlawfully possessed two sticks of the explosive, Power Gel, unlawfully possessed six .22 bullets, and having a pipe for smoking methamphetamine.
Police did not oppose bail at the appearance before Judge Gary MacAskill and Shepherd was remained on bail to January 4, with conditions that he live at a Waltham address, not consume illicit drugs, and abide by a nightly curfew.
Others facing charges over alleged involvement in the drugs ring have been remanded to various dates between Wednesday and January 5.
