Police bust alleged $400m ***** haul inside juice bottle shipment

Three men have been arrested after allegedly attempting to import $400m worth of ***** hidden in a consignment of juice bottles in a ****** operation with ********* police.

The AFP launched an investigation into an alleged transnational ****** syndicate after ********* police identified 1.2 tonnes of liquid ***** in a shipment from Brazil in May.

The Royal ********* Mounted Police replaced the ***** with an “inert substance” before the shipment was allowed to continue onwards to Queensland via a container ship.

The AFP swooped after the shipment arrived in the Sunshine State, arresting three men at a property in Jimboomba and at a shopping centre in Brisbane’s south last week.

The men, aged between 30 and 43, have since been charged with attempting to possess a commercial quantity of an unlawfully imported border controlled *****.

If found guilty and convicted, the men face a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. They faced Brisbane Magistrates Court last week and remain in custody on remand.

Testing by ********* authorities revealed the liquid ***** had a purity level of up to 89 per cent, though the AFP said it would also conduct its own testing of the drugs.

AFP Acting Commander Adrian Telfer said if converted, the drugs equated to an estimated street value of about $400,000 or equivalent to four million individual street deals.

“If converted to crystal ***** and sold into the *********** community, this amount of liquid methamphetamine would have led to domestic *********, assaults and contributed to the road toll as well as lined the pockets or organised ******,” he said.

“Through this operation the AFP, working with our partners in Canada, has prevented a large amount of this illicit ***** from reaching our communities and causing harm and put a sizeable dent in the wallets of organised ******.”

The seizure was also welcomed by ********* authorities, with Royal ********* Mounted Police Pacific Region Deputy Regional Commander Chief Superintendent Stephen Lee stating “transnational ****** has no borders”.
