AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has been charged with attempting to procure the murders of two people.

The 60-year-old Australian-born musician appeared in court this afternoon after his home in Tauranga was raided by police this morning.

Rudd, who was dressed in jeans and a grey jersey, was also charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of cannabis and threatening to kill.

He did speak when he appeared in the dock and entered no plea to the charges. He has been bailed until his next appearance on November 27.

Rudd, who had been in custody since the police raid on his house, was ordered to have no contact with the man he allegedly tried to hire to carry out the two hits. Judge Louis Bidois suppressed the names of the alleged intended victims and the alleged hitman.
