SYDNEY, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) — Australian authorities have seized 900 kilograms of amphetamine that was shipped to Sydney in cardboard rolls, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Australian Border Force (ABF) said on Thursday.
The drugs were reportedly found on August 20 when ABF officers, using available intelligence, targeted a container arriving at Port Botany in Sydney for inspection.
During the inspection, officers found 100 boxes, each containing six rolls of plastic film wrapped around cardboard rolls. ABF sniffer dogs responded positive when one of the rolls was drilled and found to contain white pellets.
Subsequent tests identified the substance as amphetamine, with each of the 600 rolls containing approximately 1.5kg of the drug. The total of 900kg had a street value of more than A$64 million (US$41.6 million), according to the AFP and ABF.
Investigations into this case are ongoing. –0–
