The treats were anonymously donated by an individual in the area and said to contain a dose 300 times more powerful than a recreational user would normally consume. Aukland authorities are searching for the perpetrator while efforts are underway to notify the public.
It is common practice for criminals to transport drugs disguised as benign, everyday consumables to bypass anti-smuggling measures. The police expect there to be many more in circulation.
Each piece of the meth-laced candy is assumed to be worth about 600 USD, bolstering the assumption that the drop-off was an accidental mix-up.
A food bank representative stated that there were at least 8 individuals who consumed the contraband candies, noticing the terrible taste before spitting them out.
The investigation is ongoing.
