Australian police intercept $27M Iranian drug shipment
Australian police said Friday they have smashed a "sophisticated" drugs ring smuggling narcotics from Iran in fruit juice cartons, seizing $26.8 million of heroin and "ice".
New South Wales Organised Crime Squad arrested a 43-year-old Iranian-born man they believe was the head of a major drug distribution network after raiding the storage facilities of a Sydney food import business this week. They found nearly 110 pounds of heroin and more than 21 kilos of methamphetamine, commonly known as "ice". (AFP)
