Early in February, an estimated $180 million worth of crystal methamphetamine was discovered in a shipping container in Sydney. The drugs were found in kayaks which were being transported inside the shipping container from China.
Customs officials x-rayed the 27 kayaks and found more than 180kg of crystal meth stuffed into watertight areas inside the kayaks.
In the past 14 months, authorities had found more than 1000kg of meth in liquid and crystal form and the biggest haul in recent times was a 565kg seizure in Melbourne.
