Western Sydney man charged with importing meth and cocaine
The Australian Federal Police has charged a 35-year-old man from Western Sydney with allegedly importing approximately 20 kilograms of methamphetamine and 10 kilograms of cocaine in consignments labelled as small electric motors and pool pumps.
The investigation, known as Operation JOFFRE began in September 2020 after Australian Border Force officers identified consignments containing illicit drugs hidden inside electric motors.
ABF officers identified two consignments from Italy containing approximately five kilograms of cocaine each, and a further three consignments from the U.S. containing approximately 20 kilograms of methamphetamine in total.
The five consignments were brought into Australia via air cargo and were all allegedly addressed to the 35-year-old Quakers Hill man and a business address in Silverwater, NSW allegedly linked to him.
Two West Australian residents are expected to face Perth Magistrate's Court today (Friday, 12 March 2021) charged over a failed plot to import 600 grams.
