An international drug ring selling in Queenstown through Facebook with product bought overseas via the dark web has been busted.
A dozen people have been arrested after police infiltrated the operation that was selling so called party drugs including cocaine, MDMA and LSD.
Among those arrested were foreign nationals from France and Chile. They face deportation. One patched Mongrel Mob member was also arrested.
Police say the group thought it was flying under the radar online - until Detective Senior Sargent Malcolm Inglis says their cover was blown.
