Gang grilled over Aussie drug bustA number of Thai and Cambodian nationals are being investigated in connection with a shipment of illegal drugs worth more than 1.38 billion baht, sent by air from Thailand to Melbourne on Feb 19, as authorities widen their probe. The limited partnership claimed it didn't know the name of the person who contacted it via LINE and paid by cash deposit, he said. It remains uncertain whether the Cambodian national was merely hired to open a bank account for transfers or a member of the drug gang, he said. On Feb 25, Australian police intercepted on arrival the crystal methamphetamine, methamphetamine and heroin hidden in green tea and magnet packages. "Since the beginning of last year, the frequency of both crystal methamphetamine and heroin found shipped from Thailand to Australia has increased considerably," he said.
