SYDNEY, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) — A massive 645 kg of the drug MDMA has been seized in Sydney, with the narcotics concealed in the false floors of barbecues, authorities revealed on Tuesday.
A 30-year-old from Australia and 33-year-old from Canada, have been charged with crimes related to the distribution and importation of the drugs.
The shipment was uncovered as the result of an investigation which spanned three countries and involved the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Australian Border Force (ABF), theCyprus Drug Law Enforcement Unit (DLEU) and the United Kingdom National Crime Agency (NCA).
Acting on information supplied by the investigation, ABF officers seized a consignment of 200 aluminium barbecues earlier in the year, which were found to contain a « brown crystalline substance, » later shown to be MDMA.
