Police found large sums of money and a significant amount of methamphetamine during a vehicle search in the north-west area of Melbourne.

A major drug bust has taken place in Melbourne's north-west, with more than 30kg of methylamphetamine and $1 million in cash being seized from a van. The van, a Toyota HiAce, was searched by police last Thursday after reports of a suspicious vehicle parked on El Reno Crescent in Airport West. Inside the van, a large purpose-built concealment in the rear tray held a substantial amount of cocaine, as well as the cash and methylamphetamine.

According to Detective Acting Inspector Bradley Lawrence, this discovery is of great significance. He expressed concern for the potential harm these drugs could have caused if they had made it to the streets. "We can only imagine the damage they would have caused," he stated. "Our next step is to identify those involved and ensure they are held accountable for their actions."

At this time, detectives are actively investigating the situation but no arrests have been made. Police are urging anyone with information about the van to come forward. The vehicle in question is white and has interstate registration plates affixed to it.
