Drugs found in Sydney roller shipment

Two Taiwanese and an Australian have been arrested over an alleged plot to smuggle 42kg of the drug ice, worth at least $12.6 million, into Australia in steel industrial rollers.

Earlier this month Australian Border Force officers found a white crystalline substance inside the two metal cylinders that had been shipped to Sydney.

On Wednesday afternoon police arrested two men, Taiwanese nationals, in Sydney and an Australian man in Brisbane and charged all three with drug offences, according to a joint ABF and Australian Federal Police statement.
