A sixth person that police say took the remainder of the shipment was also facing charges. New Zealand police said they have arrested and charged five men at a rural property near the town of Helensville, north of Auckland, who had taken the bulk of the shipment. In New Zealand, police said the syndicate tried to hide more than three-quarters of a ton of meth in a shipment of maple syrup, the largest such shipment that had been intercepted at New Zealand's border. Two more shipments came in May and June, and the syndicate was also linked to a December shipment, Australian police said.
They said Canadian authorities swapped out the meth for a harmless substance and allowed the shipment to continue.Īustralian police said that two men then moved what they believed were the drugs to storage locations around the city of Melbourne. They said that in January, Canadian authorities alerted them that 2,900 liters (766 gallons) of liquid meth had been hidden in 180 bottles of canola oil bound for Australia.
