Convicted Hawkes Bay methamphetamine distributor Leatitla Luckie Sulusi, also known as Laki Sulusi, had five motor vehicles seized as proceeds of crime to satisfy police claims of $456,300 received from criminal activity.
The High Court approved an out-of-court settlement under the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act. Ordered sold were a Ford Falcon utility, Ford Fairlane, Holden Commodore, Mazda Atenza and Big Dog Pit Bull motorcycle. Three of the vehicles were registered in the names of individuals other than Sulusi. It was agreed Sulusi had a financial interest in all three. In November 2016, Sulusi was sentenced to four years six months imprisonment. A discount was allowed for health issues; Sulusi requires regular dialysis treatment. Police said he had been involved in meth distribution through Hawkes Bay over the previous five years.
