Setting New Drug Records

By:   •   June 28, 2017

Australia is setting new records for all the wrong reasons…with the largest amount of methamphetamines ever seized by police. The 903 kilogram haul has a street value of close to $1 billion.

Police found the drugs hidden inside 70 boxes of wooden floorboards. They had come into the country from Asia via Melbourne port and were stored in a Melbourne warehouse.

At the same time, a huge task force of more than 200 officers raided 28 properties across Sydney and in Canberra and discovered the largest amount of ephedrine ever found.

The 1.4 tonne haul had a street value of $650 million. It was brought into the country in containers labelled as sea salt. Ephedrine is used to make the drug “Ice”.

Police also found $2 million in cash in the record-breaking bust. They allege that the Rebels bikie gang and an Asian organised crime group are behind the drug importing operation.

A True Story

I turned up for work and wondered where my business partner was. Several hours later I discovered why he didn’t appear. He had been found dead in an alley way at Kings Cross with a needle still in his arm. He had died of a heroin overdose. 

I had no idea that he had a drug addiction. We had been working together for 15 years. How was it that he had managed to keep it a secret from me?

The shock of this tragic discovery worsened when I found out he had been fiddling the books in order to pay for his habit. He had taken more than $300,000 from the company account.

No matter how well you think you know someone…you don’t.
