A man has faced court charged over what authorities believe to be the Northern Territory’s largest ketamine seizure.
Border force officers found more than 4 kilograms of ketamine concealed in energy drink and protein bar packages that arrived at Sydney Airport from Germany.
Investigators then replaced the drugs with another substance and tracked the package to its intended delivery address in Darwin.
A man has faced court over the Northern Territory’s “largest” ketamine bust, after investigators found drugs concealed in energy drink and protein bar packs.
The operation was launched earlier this month after Australian Border Force officers intercepted a consignment at Sydney Airport that had arrived on a flight from Germany.
Officers retrieved just over 4 kilograms of crystallised ketamine from “several sports energy drink and protein bar packages” in the consignment, which they said had an estimated street value of $800,000.
