Australia Made a Massive $900 Million Meth Bust
- 8 years ago
Australian authorities recently seized nearly $1 billion in liquid methamphetamine that had been hidden inside gel bras and art sets, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported on Monday.
The consequent investigation led officials to various storage facilities in suburban Sydney, where another 530 L had been stored in painting sets and bottles of craft glue.
Authorities have arrested four Hong Kong nationals - three men and one woman ranging in age from 33 to 59 - in relation to the smuggling of the drug.
Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan placed the street value of the total contraband at around $900 million and said it amounted to "3.6 million individual hits" of meth.
