A joint drug bust between Australian and U.S. authorities in mid-January resulted in a record 1.7 tons of methamphetamine being seized at Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport. Customs and Border Protection announced the seizure of the three containers on Thursday, which were intended to be shipped to Australia before being searched on Jan. 11. The containers were filled with speakers "artfully" stuffed with the drugs. In addition to the 3,810 pounds of meth, the shipment also contained 55.9 pounds of cocaine and 11.5 pounds of heroin. Australian officials said the total street value of the haul was $1.29 billion.

Impossible. They had to have made the bust out in the desert with a group of illegals. Port of entry busts are "fake news".

This was outgoing, not incoming. Another fail.

Transporting 1.7 tons of meth in the same shipment seems like a very methy thing to do.

I feel bad for the guys that had to put one of those speakers up their buttholes.

I don't know. That's a pretty decent risk/reward for an international shipment

A lot people would have probably died from overdoses if this had gotten in anyways. Better them than the others.

Good thing we've been throwing trillions of dollars fighting the drug war since 1972. Any day now we will see returns on the investment. Decreasing busts instead of ever higher records set.
