Campsie meth bust: police find 70 litres of drugs, arrest Hong Kong national
Police seized a whopping 70L of methylamphetamine from a Campsie home in a raid last week.
A 53-year-old Hong Kong national now faces life imprisonment after he was arrested and charged with knowingly manufacturing a prohibited drug in a greater than large commercial quantity.
The Joint Organised Crime Group has been investigating the man’s alleged involvement in methylamphetamine manufacturing since 2017.
JOCG investigators assisted by NSW Police State Crime Command’s Drug Squad executed the search warrant at the Campsie residence on January 10.
The man has been refused bail to reappear at Burwood Local Court on March 7.
Organised Crime Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Tony Cooke said police were committed to reducing the availability of prohibited drugs on NSW streets.
“This result is a further demonstration of the ability of law enforcement agencies at a State and Commonwealth level to work in partnership to seize drugs and remove them from the community,” Det Supt Cooke said.
“The community has an important role to play in reducing the impact of illicit drugs – you are our eyes and ears, and we want to hear from you if you notice something suspicious.”
The JOCG includes members from the Australian Federal Police, NSW Police, Australian Border Force, Department of Home Affairs, NSW Crime Commission, and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.
