Meth seized at Perth International Airport

A Taiwanese woman has been caught with a kilogram of methamphetamine in her luggage at Perth International Airport, Australian border officials say.

Australian Border Force officers found five vacuum sealed bags of white crystals in the woman's luggage after she arrived on a flight from Hong Kong on Monday.

Initial tests returned positive readings for meth, but the purity is yet to be determined.

The woman appeared in the Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday on drug importation charges.
