Three men from Queensland, Australia have found themselves in hot water after being charged for their involvement in a plot to sneak a massive amount of liquid methamphetamine into the country. The plan was to hide 1.2 tonnes of the dangerous drug inside juice bottles, but fortunately, the authorities were able to intercept the shipment before it reached its final destination.
It all started when the Canada Border Services Agency discovered the drugs on May 24th. The consignment had arrived in Vancouver from Brazil and was immediately flagged as suspicious. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police then contacted the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and together, they devised a plan to catch the perpetrators.
The authorities decided to replace the liquid meth with a harmless substance and allowed the shipment to continue on its journey to Brisbane, Australia. On September 3rd, the container ship carrying the consignment arrived at its final destination and the drugs were delivered to a semi-rural property in Jimboomba, Logan. The AFP believes that the drugs were then stored in a large shed on the property.
According to the AFP, the 1.2 tonnes of liquid meth could have been worth a staggering $400 million on the streets. Once converted into crystal methamphetamine, it could have been used for around four million individual deals. This is a shocking amount of drugs that could have caused immense harm to our community.
Last Wednesday, the AFP made their move and arrested three men in connection to the drug trafficking operation. The men, aged 30, 35, and 43, were taken into custody at a rural property in Jimboomba and a shopping centre in Browns Plains, both located on the south side of Brisbane. They were charged with commercial drug trafficking and faced court the following day.
One of the men, a 43-year-old from Jimboomba, was remanded in custody and had to appear in court again the next day. The other two men, a 35-year-old from Jimboomba and a 30-year-old from Buccan, were also held in custody and had to appear in court on Friday. If found guilty, they could face life in prison for their crimes.
The Canadian authorities also revealed that the liquid methamphetamine in question was a shocking 89% pure. This is a concerning statistic that highlights the serious nature of this crime. It's clear that the authorities are taking this matter very seriously, as they should. The safety and well-being of our community should always be a top priority.
