International police investigation thwarts heroin imports destined for NSW and WA
An international police investigation has foiled attempts by an organised crime syndicate to import approximately 74.5 kilograms of heroin from China to New South Wales and Western Australia.
The Australian Federal Police investigation began last month (April 2021) after the National Narcotics Control Commission (NNCC) and the Guangdong Narcotics Control Board (NCB) in China intercepted multiple suspicious consignments destined for Australia.
When they examined the consignments, they allegedly found 254 blocks of ‘half-catti’ Double UOGlobe-branded heroin vacuum sealed in foil bags, and notified the AFP Guangzhou Office.
The illicit drugs were removed and replaced with an inert substance before four consignments were forwarded to their intended destinations – three in Newcastle, NSW, and one to Perth in Western Australia.
