The police are reaching out to the public for assistance in a recent drug bust that took place on a ship docked in Western Australia. The authorities seized what is believed to be $6.6 million worth of MDMA, a dangerous and illegal substance. The drugs were discovered by Australian Border Force officers who were using drug detector dogs during a routine inspection.
Upon further investigation, it was found that the MDMA, weighing approximately 120kg, was hidden inside the panels of six brand new Peugeot vans. These vans were part of a larger shipment of 105 vehicles that had arrived on the vessel from Europe on February 18th. The Australian Federal Police were called in to handle the situation and they were able to successfully remove the drugs from the sliding door panels of the vans.
According to the AFP, the drugs were intended to be distributed in New South Wales, but thanks to the quick actions of the authorities, this plan was foiled. However, the investigation is still ongoing and the AFP is working closely with international partners to track down the culprits behind this illegal operation.
Acting Commander Peter Hatch of the AFP stated that this importation scheme was a well-organized and premeditated crime that involved multiple individuals. He also believes that there are people in Australia who have information about the organizers and intended recipients of the drugs. Hatch urges anyone with information to come forward and assist in bringing these criminals to justice.
It is also worth noting that these drugs were likely going to be mixed with other harmful substances before being turned into pills using a pill press. Commander Hatch emphasizes that these criminals have no regard for the safety of their customers and are willing to add dangerous substances to their products for profit. This is a major concern as people who take these pills have no idea what they are ingesting and could suffer serious consequences.
