Federal police foil alleged plot to smuggle liquid methamphetamine into Queensland in juice bottles

ABC  

Three men have been charged over their alleged involvement in a plot to import more than 1.2 tonnes of liquid methamphetamine into Queensland, concealed in juice bottles. The AFP launched its investigation in May after the Canada Border Services Agency allegedly identified the illicit drugs hidden in juice bottles, which had arrived in Vancouver from Brazil. The AFP said its investigations focused on a international crime syndicate that allegedly attempted to import 1,280 litres of liquid methamphetamine. AFP Acting Commander Adrian Telfer said the interception shows the importance of a strong relationship between international authorities in the fight against methamphetamine "Through this operation the AFP, working with our partners in Canada, has prevented a large amount of this illicit drug from reaching our communities and causing harm," he said.
