$1 million drug lab busted near Houston daycare, church
By Craig Hlavaty | December 17, 2014 | Updated: December 17, 2014 4:02pm

After receiving an anonymous tip, Harris County Sheriff’s deputies have shut down an apparent drug lab that was located in Northwest Harris County, according to a release Wednesday.

According to deputies they have arrested four men in connection with the drug lab, which was making methamphetamine pills and designing them to look like ecstasy pills. Officials entered the warehouse on Monday after obtaining voluntary consent to do so.

The warehouse, located in the 4800 block of West 34th Street, was in same strip center as a daycare center, a church, and a Family Dollar store.

An apartment unit off Pinemont was also allegedly involved in the operation. Counterfeit money, codeine syrup, and a large number of pills were found at that location after a warrant search.

So far only four suspects have been arrested and charged with the manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance over 400 grams.

The pills were packed in what are called "K" packs, which are bags containing 1,000 pills in each. The lab off West 34th was set up to manufacture at least 25,000 of these packs a day, according to officials.

I'm very curious about the exact composition of "liquid methamphetamine." That National Geographic documentary showed a very dark liquid which couldn't have simply been a solution of methamphetamine and water.

Im pretty sure that liquid methamphetamine is just methamphetamine freebase oil.
 
those pills look pretty cool, i wonder why they did so many colours...I wouldnt mind a K bag :p
 
Methamphetamine freebase is an oil at room temperature but any organic solvent could be used to dilute it.

Sounds like they got what they deserved.
 
it happens alot in thailand especially -

CHIANG RAI – Children in Thailand are at risk as makers of stimulants like methamphetamine aka yaba entice young with candy flavours and Facebook sales.
The pills come in a pretty rainbow of colours – purple, pink, orange and green – and boast flavours such as chocolate and strawberry to mask the bitter concoction of drugs inside.

Navy Snipers Shoot Out Drug Boat's Engines

Navy Snipers Shoot Out Drug Boat's Engines
Cocaine worth £8.7m is seized from a boat, after HMS Argyll deploys a helicopter with Royal Marines snipers to intercept it.
16:50, UK, Saturday 06 December 2014


A boat smuggling 215kg of cocaine has been seized by the Royal Navy, after two Royal Marines snipers aboard a Lynx helicopter shot out its engines.

The helicopter was sent out from the HMS Argyll warship after the boat refused to stop.

It took seconds for all three engines to be disabled during the 23 November operation, bringing the smugglers to a halt in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

It is thought the cocaine on board was worth £8.7m.

Lt Jonny Hamlyn, the Lynx pilot, said: "I had to work hard to keep the helicopter in the right place for the sniper team, and for us to successfully disable the go-fast was a great team effort."

HMS Argyll has been involved in counter-narcotics patrols for six months. In total, her crew has recovered nearly 1,900kg of cocaine - worth £77m - during four seizures.

The vessel, now heading back to Britain for Christmas, was part of Operation Martillo, a 15-nation effort to stop the worldwide, illegal movement of drugs from South America. The effort is also trying to restrict the access criminal organisations enjoy to the region by air and sea.

Last month, the Plymouth-based Type 23 frigate was involved in a high speed chase to intercept a suspicious vessel.

Paul Hammond, HMS Argyll's Commanding Officer, said: "We have had a series of drug busts and they have all been different.

"They have ranged from night time chases to disabling engines with sniper fire - however, they have all shown the effect and versatility that can be delivered by a Royal Navy warship."

Woman faces court for methamphetamine importation

A 35-year-old US citizen from the Dominican Republic has appeared in Adelaide Magistrates Court later today charged with drug importation offences following a joint Australian Federal Police (AFP), South Australia Police and Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS) operation.

On 15 December 2014, ACBPS officers at Melbourne International Mail intercepted a package from the United States of America addressed to a residence in Prospect, South Australia.

The consignment, containing two large plastic containers labelled as containing protein powder, was selected for further examination by the ACBPS officers.

Examination of the containers found a top layer of cotton wool with coffee sprinkled throughout. Approximately 3 kilograms of white crystals were located inside the containers, beneath the cotton wool and coffee.

Presumptive testing provided a positive result for methamphetamine, and the consignment was referred to the AFP

Yesterday, police conducted a controlled operation and executed a search warrant in the suburb of Prospect.

The woman was subsequently charged with attempting to possess a prohibited import.

AFP Manager Adelaide Office Matt Varley said that this interception shows law enforcement is working together to target drug trafficking in South Australia.

“The AFP and its partner agencies are working together more than ever to keep drugs off Adelaide’s streets,” Commander Varley said.

Detective Chief Inspector Steve Taylor, the Officer in Charge of the South Australia (SAPOL) Drug and Organised Crime Task Force said this should serve as a warning to anyone contemplating bringing illicit drugs into South Australia.

“There is a strong probability you will be caught,” he said. “Don’t risk it.”

The “Above and Beyond” festival, which was held at the Hordern Pavillion yesterday (Wednesday 31 December 2014), started at 8pm and ran until 3am this morning.
The event was sold out, with approximately 5000 people in attendance.
Police from Surry Hills Local Area Command, with assistance from the Dog Unit launched a drug dog operation targeting the festival.
A total of 84 person searches were conducted, with 31 detections made – predominantly for numerous types of pills and powder. These 31 people were issued with Court Attendance Notices for drug offences.
Incidents of note include;

Police have arrested 214 people in relation to drug offences at a New Year’s Day dance festival in Sydney – a record number of arrests during the one-day festival.

Police attached to the Redfern Region Enforcement Squad conducted a covert and overt operation at ‘Fuzzy Field Day 2015’, held at The Domain yesterday (Thursday 1 January 2015).

The operation targeted anti-social behaviour, alcohol-related crime, and illegal drug use and supply both inside and outside the venue, and ensured the safety and security of over 24,500 people.

As part of the operation, police with the assistance of the use of drug detection dogs identified 214 people allegedly in possession of illicit drugs

Illicit drugs seized included amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy, LSD and ice.

Major arrests included three people arrested and charged with drug supply offences.

Police will allege a 20-year-old woman was found to be in possession of 75 ecstasy tablets; a 21-year-old woman was found with 50 ecstasy tablets, and a 19-year-old man was found to be in possession of 40 ecstasy tablets.

All three were charged with supplying drugs and granted conditional bail, to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on 29 January 2015.

A total of 88 people were ejected from the festival due to their level of intoxication or fence jumping.

During the Festival, 190 people received medical treatment by Ambulance Paramedics. Three of those people were taken to hospital for further treatment.

Redfern Region Enforcement Squad Commander, Chief Inspector Stuart Bell, said the amount of people caught using illicit drugs this year was a concern.

“Most festival-goers know how to have fun and still behave responsibly, but there are those who need to understand that they will not get past us if they have drugs on them” Chief Inspector Bell said.

“The drug-dog operation this year resulted in the most arrests police have made during the history of the Festival, which his extremely concerning and shows that some attendees are still not getting the message.

“We will not take our eye off the ball when it comes to our fight against drugs, alcohol-related crime and anti-social behaviour, particularly at music festivals.

“We make no apologies for finding these people and putting them before the courts.

“Police will continue to run these operations and work with the festival organisers to ensure music-lovers can attend festivals and enjoy themselves in a safe, drug-free environment,” Ch Insp Bell said.

Last year (2014) about 140 people were arrested over drug-related offences at the Field Day Festival, and in 2013, 153 people were arrested.
