Police have uncovered a massive haul of methamphetamine stashed inside car radiators in a major new drug bust.
The shocking discovery was made in November last year after officers from ACT Police and the n Border Force (ABF) found 106kg of meth hidden inside the radiators bound for a business in Fyshwick in Canberra’s south.
The huge haul of drugs – the largest ever meth bust in the ACT – was placed inside dozens of radiators in a shipment to NSW from the United States.
The drugs were later seized before officers from ACT Policing’s Drug and Organised Crime Team launched an investigation.

Following their inquiries officers carried out search warrants on four properties in Sydney last Friday with the help of the NSW Police Drug and Firearms Squad and the n Federal Police.
No one has been arrested however investigations are ongoing.
ACT Policing Detective Acting Inspector John Callaghan told reporters the drugs were enough to produce more than ‘1 million individual ‘hits’ of methamphetamine’.
Inspector Callaghan said law enforcement agencies would stop drug traffickers and said they were committed to protecting the streets of the ACT to ensure communities are kept safe.
‘Drug use can have devastating impacts upon the community, including incidents of drug driving and violent assaults. They also negatively impact each individual drug user.’ he said.
