‘Sad day’ as drug smuggling cop sentenced
A west Auckland police officer who smuggled cannabis, tobacco and other items to prisoners was today sentenced to community work. Lotovale Perese, who was a police officer for 13 years, gave items to 16 prisoners in Waitakere District Court holding cells on 77 occasions over a six-month period earlier this year. Constable Perese, 42, appeared before the very court he was employed to police. “It’s a sad day indeed to see you in the dock,” Judge David Wilson told him. Perese was a police escort at Waitakere District Court for over two years when he started giving cannabis and other contraband to prisoners. This included cigarettes, cigarette papers, lighters, cellphone, a SIM card and bottles of tattoo ink, Crown Prosecutor Lepeka Tatila said.
