Three men were arrested after 748 kilograms (1,649 pounds) of the drug were found early this month hidden in 24 containers that arrived at Port Botany, officials said on Friday.

Another 1,060 kilograms (2,337 pounds) of meth were found in 19 containers that arrived at the same port last week. The drugs were hidden in the same method and were all shipped from the United Arab Emirates.

The discovery marks the latest in a string of large-scale meth seizures across the globe.

Earlier this month, Mexican soldiers seized almost 1.5 tons of meth and 328 pounds of apparent powdered fentanyl at a checkpoint in the northern state of Sonora.

Last month, more than 5,000 pounds of meth was found in a record-breaking seizure in Southern California.

Years ago I witnessed the UAE “police” hauling some guys out of hotels. Not pretty.

Marijuana legalization presents barriers against police busting criminals for meth on the roads and in houses.
