*Ice hidden in gel bras, craft glue and painting sets
*Four Hong Kong nationals charged over importation and manufacture
*Haul discovered in shipment from Asia to Australia, remainder in Sydney storage units
*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. "And we are here to laud the joint operation that has resulted in the largest seizure of liquid methamphetamine in Australia's history."
