Aussie Police Seize 220kg Of Drug In Sydney

SYDNEY, Feb 9 (NNN-AGENCIES) – Police in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW), seized 220 kilograms of drug and 1.1 million Australian dollars (about 0.8 million U.S. dollars) in cash, in a drug investigation, unveiled today.

Officers were called to a property in Canterbury, in south-west Sydney, on July 9 last year, after a plumber, who was fixing a leaking toilet pipe found bags of cash and crystal substance in an open cupboard.

The unit was then declared a crime scene and a locked garage under the complex was searched.

It uncovered 15 cardboard boxes containing almost 220 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine with an estimated street value of 44 million Australian dollars (about 31.5 million U.S. dollars).

Officers also seized 95g of MDMA, 35g of cocaine, and “chemicals consistent with the manufacture of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GBH), gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) and ice.”

There was also close to 1.15 million Australian dollars (about 0.82 million U.S. dollars) in cash, some of which was found in a grocery bag, stored in the unit and garage.

Police have also released CCTV footage of a man they believe can assist with their investigations.– NNN-AGENCIES
