SYDNEY, (APP/AFP) – Australian police discovered
millions of dollars worth of methamphetamine hidden inside a shipment
, part of what they said Monday was the country’s biggest ever drugs
bust.
Officers found more than Aus$1 billion (US$712 million) of the
lethally-addictive drug — also known as ice — in a series of raids.
Australian Federal Police Commander Chris Sheehan said the
sting began in December 2015 when the Australian Border Force examined
a shipping container in Sydney.
“That shipping container was found to contain gel bra inserts
and hidden inside those gel bra inserts was 190 litres (50 gallons)
of liquid methamphetamine,” he said.
The seizure was referred to the Australian Federal Police
who began an investigation that found a further 530 litres of the
drug in storage units being used for art supplies.
