Police claim to smash ecstasy ring
December 18, 2003
AUSTRALIAN authorities had smashed an international drug trafficking ring and seized ecstasy worth $11.5 million, they said today.
Authorities seized 32kg of ecstasy tablets and arrested 12 people in Australia and the United Kingdom in a big sting, acting Justice Minister Amanda Vanstone said.
A UK-based drug syndicate with connections in Sydney and Perth allegedly organised the shipment of about 165,000 ecstasy pills with a potential street value of $11.5 million, inside the doors of six refrigerators.
The shipment left the UK on December 3.
Senator Vanstone said the Government believed the seizure and arrests smashed a big ecstasy trafficking syndicate.

This is just one of many ecstacy busts that have occured in the past few months, I believe that this increase in seizures is responsible for the increase in ketamine and speed based pills. Are these bust really helping the community or just causing the people who would have taken these drugs to resort to substances produced by "backyard" chemists..............
