Australian customs discovered around 190 liters of methylamphetamine hidden inside thousands of stick on gel bras.


(CNN)Australian police have seized $1 billion Australian dollars' worth of the drug "ice" from a shipment of silicon bra inserts and art supplies, the country's federal police said, worth approximately US $700 million.

Four people have been charged over the haul, which included 720 liters of the drug formally known as methylamphetamine, the Australian Federal Police said Monday.

Australian customs first discovered around 190 litres of the drug hidden inside thousands of stick on gel bras in a shipment from Hong Kong in December of last year.

A shipment of silicon bra implants, concealing the drug 'ice'.
Delivery of the shipment was tracked to a storage facility where a Hong Kong national was arrested.

Authorities have since arrested one Chinese national and two further Hong Kong nationals in relation to the importation and manufacture of the drug.

Australian Crime Commission NSW State Manager Warren Gray said that joint operations such as this one have a pivotal role to play in the fight against methylamphetamine.

"Methylamphetamine poses -- by far -- the greatest threat to the Australian public of all illicit drug types, and by a significant margin," he said.

He added that all charges could result in life imprisonment.


TL;DR: Next up, camel toe drug mules?

People in Hong Kong, making Australians meth? In bra inserts/art supplies? Damn.

Now that's a huge "bust", so too Is the successful raid on the drugs.

On a serious note, the Aussies are too lenient when Imposing punishment on crimes of this nature. If this happened (for example) In Bali, the death penalty Is a certainty.

Creativity used in the wrong area.

Another drug bust with some really inflated numbers. Since the story seems to be looking at it in liquid form (for IV use), that's nearly $1400 AUD ($1000 USD) for a gram.. Even if it got put into an 80/20 mixture that's still $200 USD for a gram, probably 250% of street price.

Eh, do you know how much money they made? Although nobody likes to discuss it, it's true that drug lords are the richest men in the world.

Successful drug lords literally would never run out of money.

Wouldn't that be great?

Money's pretty cool, but...

Hiding dergs in my Victoria's Secret lingerie isn't as cool.

But I guess I know what Victoria's secret is now.
