Border Patrol

Immigration officers have identified a scheme to set up a hazardous and unlawful enterprise in New Zealand, which was found to pose a serious threat to public safety. At the same time, customs officers uncovered a drug‑smuggling operation, disrupting the illicit trade.

The programme follows a pair of law‑enforcement teams as they tackle serious criminal activity in New Zealand. Immigration officers stumble across a scheme to set up a hazardous and unlawful enterprise, while customs officers simultaneously expose a separate drugs scam. Both investigations unfold against the backdrop of the country's borders, highlighting the challenges faced by officials tasked with protecting the nation from illicit operations. In the first thread of the story, immigration staff uncover an attempt to establish a dangerous business that breaches the law. Their discovery points to a coordinated effort to run an illegal operation on New Zealand soil, prompting a swift response from the authorities. At the same time, customs officers trace a drug‑related fraud, revealing a network designed to traffic contraband. Their findings bring the hidden scam into the open and set the stage for further action. The series weaves these two parallel investigations together, showing how immigration and customs agencies collaborate when confronting illegal activity. By focusing on the uncovering of both a perilous business venture and a drug scam, the programme paints a clear picture of the vigilance required to safeguard the country’s borders. It underscores the importance of diligent oversight and the constant threat posed by organised crime attempting to exploit New Zealand’s entry points.
