A Sydney airline employee has been charged for allegedly helping to import $155 million worth of the drug ice into Australia.
The customer service officer was arrested by federal police officers on Sunday after he boarded a Singapore-bound flight at Melbourne Airport. At the same time, investigators searched homes in the Sydney suburbs of
Ingleburn and Cartwright as well as a factory in Seven Hills.
They allegedly found heroin, MDMA, LSD and magic mushrooms at the man's Ingleburn house. The 22-year-old was extradited back to Sydney on Monday and charged with importing a commercial quantity of illicit drugs and supplying prohibited drugs, NSW Police said in a statement on Tuesday.
Border force officers in late July examined a container after it arrived in Sydney from the United States. Inside were two large industrial machines.
