Four charged in Melb meth ring

Ceramic horse statues were allegedly filled with methamphetamines and imported into Melbourne, Australian Federal Police say.

Four men were charged on Wednesday with importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, after police allegedly intercepted almost 15kg of meth in a three-month operation.

"These arrests are particularly significant given we have managed to charge the alleged organiser of this drug syndicate, which will stop countless more attempts to import this horrendous drug," AFP Superintendent Matt Warren said on Thursday.
