Rowan Hewitson
Rowan Hewitson is a young drug dealer who gained notoriety for importing up to $6 million worth of ketamine and MDMA into New Zealand. His operations, which took place between August 2022 and November 2023, involved the importation of 36 packages, most of which were falsely labeled as benign items. Hewitson's activities came to light during a police investigation named Operation Reheat, leading to his arrest after he attempted to retrieve one of the packages. Despite a stable upbringing, Hewitson struggled with mental health issues and addiction, exacerbated by the isolation of the COVID-19 lockdowns. He has since expressed remorse for his actions, engaged in rehabilitation, and is working towards a healthier lifestyle.
