Hong Kong customs estimated the market value of the drugs at $46 million Hong Kong dollars ($9.4 million AUD). The street value would have soared to $68 million AUD in Australia, police said. |
A multimillion-dollar stash of methamphetamine hidden in electrical transformers being sent from Mexico to Australia has been intercepted at Hong Kong's airport. The air freight consignment originated in Mexico and was headed for delivery in Sydney. Australian Federal Police are looking to identify the Australian link.
Hong Kong officers found the illicit drugs after receiving intelligence from the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Australian Border Force (ABF), and the Department of Home Affairs. The 76 kilograms of crystal meth was found Friday in false compartments in the three transformers, a Hong Kong customs official said. She said the transformers appeared suspicious when they were X-rayed.
"We only saw simple structures but could not see other components that should have been there, such as high voltage cables or coils of wire," senior Inspector Lam Kai-shan told reporters. "This seizure is a great example of our international partners working together to combat the movement of illicit drugs across international borders," AFP Detective Superintendent Timothy Underhill said.
