Sydney man and his son face charges for attempting to bring drugs into the country through the mail.

In a recent case in Sydney, a father and son have been accused of smuggling drugs into the country through the postal system. This illegal activity was brought to the attention of the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Border Force back in August, when a suspicious package from China containing 4.5 kilograms of a substance used to make meth was intercepted.

Following their investigation, the authorities conducted raids on two homes located in Kellyville and Castle Hill, both in the north-west region of Sydney. On November 11, the 54-year-old father was apprehended in a unit in Kellyville after police heard him flushing a toilet. Upon searching the area, they discovered suspected meth and two phones containing incriminating images and instructions related to drug manufacturing. He was immediately charged with importing a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug.

Meanwhile, at the second unit in Castle Hill, the police came across disturbing evidence of child abuse material on a laptop, as well as a significant amount of substances used in the production of drugs. This led to the arrest of the 25-year-old son, who was charged with possessing child abuse material. Both men appeared in court the following day at the Downing Centre Local Court.

According to Superintendent Peter Fogerty, this case is just one example of the constant efforts made by the AFP and the Australian Border Force to combat the illegal transportation of drugs into the country. Fogerty emphasized the dangers of methamphetamine, stating that it not only causes harm to the users but also to their families and the wider community. He further explained that even though the quantities of drugs being smuggled may seem small, the impact is significant as it equates to numerous street deals and the spread of harm throughout the community.

The 54-year-old man will be facing court again today, while his son, aged 25, will have another court appearance scheduled for a later date. It is clear that the authorities are taking this matter seriously and are determined to bring those responsible to justice.
