The Australian Federal Police has revealed its latest successful drug bust, and goddamn, the figures are astonishing.
The AFP announced a 1.2 tonne motherlode of crystal MDMA was seized from a storage unit in the northern Sydney suburb of Hornsby yesterday.
It’s thought that massive stash of Molly would have equated to over 4 million ecstasy tablets, with an estimated street value of $145 million.
The bust has already been lauded as the largest police seizure of illicit drugs this year, and the AFP reports it’s the fourth largest MDMA bust in the nation’s history.
Here’s some footage shot outside AFP headquarters earlier today:
Two Polish men, aged 28 and 29, were arrested after the seizure. They’ll be facing court today on charges of possessing and importing commercial quantities of the drug.
If found guilty, those charges come with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Deputy Commissioner Operations Justine Saunders said further arrests are also expected.
