HMAS Melbourne seizes estimated $706 million in drugs from boat intercepted off coast of Africa

The Australian Navy has intercepted a boat carrying what is believed to be more than $700 million worth of heroin off the coast of Tanzania.

Navy personnel from HMAS Melbourne seized and destroyed more than 350 kilograms of drugs after discovering the suspected drug smuggling vessel on Wednesday.

The Navy says it identified a suspicious substance concealed onboard while conducting a standard sweep of the boat.

The drugs were tested and returned a positive reading for heroin.

The Australia Commander of Combined Task Force 150, Commodore Daryl Bates, commended HMAS Melbourne's efforts.

"Melbourne has once again demonstrated how beneficial Australia's commitment is to the Indian Ocean region and the fight against international terrorism and violent extremism," said Commodore Bates in a statement.

"During her time with Combined Maritime Forces, she has successfully disrupted a piracy attack, and conducted four successful narcotics seizures, seizing 23.8 kilograms of methamphetamines and now 353 kilograms of heroin.

"These seizures have severely impacted the funding network of those terrorist organisations that rely on these shipments for income."

HMAS Melbourne is deployed on Operation Slipper, "in support of deterring terrorism and promoting peace and security in the maritime regions of the Middle East and Indian Ocean".

Yes, this dope was going to violently attack addicts in a discriminate manner based on their political affiliation. Terrorism. *nods*
 
lol. I wonder how long it would take a ship to get across from Tanzania to Wester Australia, I guess that's where they were heading with it? Maybe it wasn't even going to Australia? Imagine being part of the crew in Aus (if it was coming here) to distribute that much heroin, fuck that.

No man, it specifically says in post 486 you thwarted a piracy attack too. On Australia. A piracy attack. C'mon man, think of the consequences.

Besides that I'd like to add my disquiet, nay displeasure, at the concept of a Mega Drug Bust Thread. At least without a juxtaposing Mega Drugs That Got Through Thread.

KThx.

Traffic officers found 225 kilograms of ketamine and more than 50 large packets containing cannabis after stopping a VW van on the M6 close to Sandbach services.

Police have seized drugs worth almost £8m hidden inside pallets of frozen food.

Traffic officers found 225 kilograms of ketamine and more than 50 large packets containing cannabis after stopping a VW van on the M6 close to Sandbach services.

Detectives estimate the ketamine, a class C controlled drug, has a street value of £6.75 million and the cannabis to be worth in the region of £1 million.

As well as the 46-year-old driver, from Middlesex, officers from the north-west's regional organised crime unit, arrested a 66-year-old man at a house in Salford and two men aged 21 and 31 at an industrial building in Trafford Park .

All four men have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs and will be questioned tonight at various police stations throughout the North-west.

The investigation continues.

Nah, it was a routine interception.

By the sounds of it HMAS Melbourne is on an international mission to police sea lanes, it's be a part of that whole anti-Somalian piracy operation. I'd imagine, just from the geography of it, the drugs would have been coming from Afghanistan to Africa, to be distributed into smuggling routes to Europe. If I had to hazard a guess.
 
A HAUL of more than £1m-worth of drugs

- believed to be herbal cannabis and cocaine were seized yesterday in Thurrock.

Two vans were stopped by police in an operation by officers from the Kent & Essex Serious Crime Directorate around 7am and two men were arrested on suspicion of being involved in the supply of drugs.

The police operation took place on the A13 roundabout at junction 31 of the M25. Approximately 200 kilos of cannabis and 1.5kgs of cocaine have been recovered.

Robert Preston, 53, of Great Stony Park, Ongar, has been charged with being concerned in the supply of cannabis and being concerned in the supply of cocaine, while Lee Samways, 23 of Stradbroke Grove, Buckhurst Hill has been charged with being concerned in the supply of cannabis.

Both are due at magistrates court today.

DCI Stuart Smith said: "Through this operation we have prevented a large quantity of drugs from being distributed and made arrests of people involved in the supply chain. Drugs ultimately cause misery to people’s lives and lead to further crime.”

SYDNEY (AP) - Australian police seized about 180 million Australian dollars ($162 million) worth of methamphetamine hidden inside kayaks shipped from China, officials said Wednesday.

Five people were arrested in Sydney on Tuesday after customs officials discovered 183 kilograms (403 pounds) of meth last week while inspecting a shipment of kayaks from China, the Australian Federal Police said. Nineteen of 27 kayaks in the shipment had bags of meth stuffed inside the watertight areas of the boats, said Tim Fitzgerald, regional director for the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.

Four of the five people arrested are from Taiwan, and one is from Sydney. Two were charged with attempting to import drugs, and the others were charged with possessing a commercial quantity of drugs. They each face a maximum of life in prison if convicted.

Australian officials have made a series of major drug busts in recent months. In October, police seized about AU$200 million worth of meth hidden in the tires of a truck shipped from China.

Japanese woman caught smuggling ‘ice’ in suitcase

13-02-2014 -
Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS) officers at Melbourne Airport have seized two kilograms of ice hidden in the luggage of a 21-year old Japanese national.

The woman was stopped for a baggage examination by ACBPS officers yesterday (12 February 2014), when she arrived on a flight from Dubai.

During the examination, an x-ray of the woman’s bag identified anomalies within the sides of her suitcase. Further testing of the concealment returned positive results for methamphetamine.

“This is seizure is yet another example of the good work carried out by our officers every day at airports around the country,” National Manager Airport Operations, Craig Sommerville, said.

“If you are caught attempting to smuggle dangerous drugs such as ice, you could face serious penalties.”

The matter has been referred to the Australian Federal Police.
