THREE FACE COURT AFTER AUSTRALIA'S LARGEST CRYSTAL METH SEIZURE
Three people have been charged with drug offences after more than £600 million of methamphetamine was found smuggled in stereo speakers. More than 1.5 tons of the drug, also known as crystal meth, was seized in what Australian police said was its biggest ever haul.
Some 37 kilograms of heroin was also found in vacuum-sealed packages concealed in speakers at the Melbourne waterfront in April.
Two men, aged 37 and 38, and a 37-year-old woman were appearing in a Melbourne court on Thursday charged with drug importation offences that carry potential life prison sentences, police said.
They have not been named.
They were arrested after police executed search warrants on Wednesday at several Melbourne properties.
