An Auckland businessman won bail in the Auckland District court yesterday afternoon after being arrested on Tuesday on sex and drug offences, then held on remand for two nights.
The arrest was made after police executed search warrants.

Bail conditions included a requirement to stay at an address outside of Auckland, an order not to apply for travel documents, and an order to use the internet for email only. The judge granted police leave to monitor the man’s internet use.
