The RCMP seized the drugs, replaced them with replicas, and sent the shipments on their way — one to Melbourne and another to Sydney
The meth, in white packages, was hidden inside large industrial dough mixers being shipped by air from Toronto to Australia.During a search of his home, police seized a further 1.75 grams of meth, five mobile phones and numerous SIM cards for activating phones.
That led to the arrest of the second man, 28, who was charged with providing material assistance to a criminal group.He is a 39-year-old worker with an Australian freight forwarding company accused of using his position to help import drugs. Police seized electronic devices, including a phone and laptop, which allegedly contained evidence of drug importation.
Investigators of that mixer delivery also arrested three men. They seized $1.5 million in Australian cash, drugs, a handgun, two long guns, ammunition, a motorcycle, and a clandestine drug manufacturing laboratory. He was sentenced last week to 11 years in prison, with no parole eligibility for seven years. Charges against his two Sydney co-accused have not yet been settled in court.
