$2M Worth of Liquid Meth Hidden in Juice Bottles Intercepted at Vancouver-Area Port

Border officials seized a shipment of juice bottles containing more than 1,000 litres of liquid methamphetamine destined for export to Australia at a Vancouver-area port.
The drug was disguised in bottles labelled as grape and apple juice that were intercepted by CBSA agents on June 27 with the help of drug-sniffing dogs. Anomalies in the packaging of the bottles, destined for Australia, prompted officers to examine the shipment, leading to the discovery of 1,320 bottles filled with the drug.
“[The CBSA] is committed to protecting our communities from the harm caused by organized crime and preventing illicit drugs from crossing our borders,” reads the release.
The case was referred to RCMP in Ontario who worked with Australian authorities, leading to charges there against three people, according to the agency.
In a statement, Adrian Telfer, acting commander of the Australian Federal Police, thanked Canadian authorities for their help in preventing the drug shipment from reaching Australia. He said the operation “put a sizeable dent in the wallets of organised crime.”
