Australian authorities seized nearly 53 gallons of liquid meth hidden in thousands of imported silicon bra inserts, federal police said Monday.
The authorities who carried out the three-month anti-drug operation, which also found hundreds of liters of meth concealed in art supplies, estimated the street value of the seized "ice" at nearly $1 billion.
The inserts were discovered at a container facility in December. The 86 boxes from Hong Kong were destined for a 33-year-old Hong Kong national, police said in a statement.
The supplies, which also included crystal meth, were "linked" to two Hong Kong nationals and a Chinese national in Sydney.
The four were charged with importing or manufacturing the drug.
