Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan released a statement, in which he said the discovery "has resulted in 3.6 million individual hits of ice being taken off our streets with a street value of $1.26 billion [Australian dollars]."
In total, 1,100 pounds of high-grade liquid meth was recovered from four Hong Kong passport holders.
The four people who were arrested and charged with importing a border-controlled drug were three men, ages 33, fifty-two and 59, and a 52-year-old woman.According to NBC News, another 4.4 pounds of crystal meth was seized.
Keenan admitted, "This is a very good day for Australia law enforcement."The criminals will be detained for a month and can face a life sentence if convicted.
Keenan told reporters, "This largest seizure of liquid methylamphetamine to date is the result of organized criminals targeting the lucrative Australian ice market from offshore."
He added that the seizure was one of the largest in Australian history.
