[quote]More than $1 billion worth of ice has been seized from a shipment of stick-on gel bras and inside storage units filled with art supplies, Australian Federal Police say, in what is being described as the largest seizure of liquid methamphetamine in Australia's history.
Four people have been charged over the importation and manufacture of 720 litres of methylamphetamine.
Authorities discovered the drugs in a shipment from Asia to Australia and found the remainder in storage units in Sydney.
The ice was allegedly hidden in stick-on 'water magic' push up bras, bottles of craft glue and painting sets.

Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan said it was the largest seizure of liquid methamphetamine in Australia's history.
"This is also one of the largest drug seizures in our country," he said.
"This has resulted in 3.6 million individual hits of ice being taken off our streets with a street value of $1.26 billion.[/quote]

That is a lot of money.
Someone is going to be killed over this, that is massive.

Indeed, If I was one of the people remotely involved in seizing the drugs (e.g. the two policemen posted there likely?) then I wouldn't want my face on the papers...
i wonder if any of this will enter back into the market
Was pleasantly surprised to read Sydney instead of Canning Vale (in Perth) for once.
Stick-on gel bras... first time I hear about those.
For reference, that's about 715 million USD. This is an utterly insane amount of meth.

Sell it back to the North Koreans, it probably came from there anyway.
I hope Brian Cranston has a good alibi
I can already imagine the headlines in a week
"multiple policemen and 4 drug smugglers brutally murdered by cartel"
If I was remotely involved with this case, I would go into hiding pronto, because there is a very angry cartel somewhere wondering who is responsible for them losing over 1 billion dollars

It's fairly cheap to make, so the actual amount written-off won't be anywhere near as much (although still a sizeable amount).
