A search warrant executed two weeks ago at a Manukau address in Auckland uncovered a significant quantity of the drug.

A further search at an Auckland address this morning saw a 40-year-old man arrested, police said.

He will be appearing at the Auckland District Court.

There was a possibility of some cans of Honey Bear House Beer still circulating, police said. They asked people to not consume it.

Further arrests were not being ruled out.
