More than 30 properties were searched in the Manukau, Auckland City and Waitemata police districts, and 11 people were arrested, they said.

The raids, carried out last week, netted them 3,385 cannabis plants and 48 kilograms of dried cannabis, with a total value estimated at $18 million, they said.
