Police have seized drugs and a range of hi-tech gear during a raid in central Auckland.

A 52-year-old man and a woman, aged 49, appeared in the Auckland District Court on Friday charged with possession of Class A drugs for supply.

The pair were arrested on Thursday after a search at a Nelson Street apartment and near-by storage unit.

Police say that along with methamphetamine and other illicit drugs, officers seized thousands of dollars worth of laptops, mobile phones, i-pods, specialist video recording equipment, jewellery and other personal belongings.

They say the man and woman may face further charges, and others may have been involved in their activities.

Police are also trying to track down who owns the stolen items.
