Ecstasy powder worth $37m seized [AU]

Ecstasy powder worth $37m seized
April 23, 2007 - smh.com.au

An Israeli national has been charged with trying to import $37 million of synthetic drug MDMA into Australia inside three hot water tanks.

About 113kg of MDMA powder, usually found in ecstasy, was discovered inside 172 tennis ball cans packed in three of six solar hot water systems in a cargo shipment.

Australian Customs Service officers at Port Botany last month spotted the cans during an x-ray of the container, sent from Israel.

Australian Federal Police officers substituted the drug with another substance then monitored the cargo's delivery to a warehouse in Artarmon, in Sydney's north.

A 46-year-old man from Bellingen, on the mid-north coast, was arrested during a police raid yesterday, a joint ACS and AFP release said.

Police also raided the Artarmon warehouse, a property in Marrickville, in Sydney's inner-west, a car in the inner-city and a Melbourne house, where officers seized $25,000 in cash.

AFP Sydney Office manager David Stewart said the joint operation prevented a significant amount of a dangerous drug from making it onto Australian streets.

"Depending on the purity of the powder, which will be determined by further AFP forensic testing, it could have been used to manufacture at least 1.2 million tablets of ecstasy,'' Federal Agent Stewart said.

"This means the street value of this powder could be worth more than $37 million,'' he said.

The 46-year-old man was charged with one count of importing a commercial quantity of border controlled drug, namely MDMA, under Section 307.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995.

He also was charged with one count of attempt to possess a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug under Section 307.5 by virtue of Section 11.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995.

He is due to face Coffs Harbour Local Court today.
