A 29-year-old man accused of selling drugs via social media in one of Wellington's most affluent suburbs has been remanded in custody.

Two men were arrested on Thursday, and drugs and cash seized in a series of police search warrants targeting the supply of drugs in the suburbs of Khandallah and Hataitai.

One of the pair, who appeared in Wellington District Court today, is facing money laundering and drugs charges.

He has been remanded in custody and will reappear next week.

His co-accused, a 31-year-old man, is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
