The equivalent of more than a million individual hits of methamphetamine have been seized in a 106kg haul of the illegal drug hidden in a shipment of car radiators bound for a business in Fyshwick. It is the ACT’s largest meth bust.

The drugs were detected by Australian Border Force officers in November after the shipment arrived in NSW from the US. Following a deconstruction of the consignment – described as 56 radiators addressed to a business premises in Fyshwick – officers allegedly located 106kg of methamphetamine. The items were seized and ACT’s Drug and Organised Crime Team took over the investigation.

On Friday police executed four search warrants in Sydney, with assistance from AFP Eastern Command and the NSW Police Force’s Drug and Firearms Squad. ACT police say that no arrests were made, however the investigation is ongoing.

Acting Inspector John Callaghan said: “The drugs seized had the potential to be more than 1 million individual hits of methamphetamine.

“Drug traffickers don’t care about the harm their products cause, only about the money to be made, which is why preventing drug harm is so important.”

ABF Assistant Commissioner East Erin Dale said: “The illicit drug trade is affecting everyday Australians, disrupting families and livelihoods – the ABF will not apologise for detecting and preventing these harmful substances from coming into our country.

“This should serve as a warning to criminal groups – no matter where you are attempting to import or move your drugs, the Australian Border Force and our partners will be waiting.”

Anyone with information about this importation should call 1800 333000 or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.
