Eight people have been arrested and dozens warned following a drugs bust in South Auckland.

The group were allegedly buying and selling cannabis outside the Otahuhu police station during daylight hours.

Police say the dealers are loosely linked with Black Power New Zealand.

Senior Sergeant Richard Wilkie says they are shocked at how bold the group were.

The crack down follows Operation Leo which netted more than half a million dollars of methamphetamine, $200,000 in cash, and more than 20 arrests.
