Charged four in custody
PA Tauranga Four people charged in Tauranga with importing and dealing in heroin will spend four weeks in custody before the charges against them are heard. The four were among eight people arrested last week when the Tauranga police and Customs officers broke up what they described as an organised heroin importation scheme. Before Judge Callender
in the District Court at Tauranga were Kevin Wayne Farnworth, aged 41, an accident compensation beneficiary of Tauranga; Trevor Keith Latrobe, aged 30, a sickness beneficiary of Te Puke; Gerard Michael Southall, aged 37, a computer operator of Kawerau; and Dennis Ormond Tucker, aged 34, unemployed, of Mount Maunganui. They were all remanded until November 20 for a preliminary hear-
ing of the total 10 indictable and two lower court charges. All four are charged with conspiring to import heroin into New Zealand at various times between August 12 last year and October 19, 1989. Farnworth and Latrobe were jointly charged with conspiring to deal the heroin and Southall was charged with possessing the drug at his Kawerau home for supply.
