Cops uncover monster 300kg stash of ice worth $184million after the drug was found in a DIGGER imported from Hong Kong Three men arrested after police and border force intercepted 295kg of drug ice Drugs were stashed inside a digger, arrived in Sydney from Hong Kong in July If not discovered, drugs could have been sold in close to 2.9 million street deals

Police have uncovered a monster 295kg stash of the drug ice which was sent to Sydney hidden inside a digger imported from Hong Kong.

A joint investigation between the federal police and border force allegedly discovered the methamphetamine - worth $184 million - in an excavator. 

On Wednesday, Raymond Saab, 25, of Merrylands was charged with importing a commercial quantity of border-controlled drugs and attempting to possess a commercial quantity of an unlawfully imported border-controlled drug.

Antonio De Luca, 26, of Prospect, and Afif Saliba, 30, of Rydalmere were both charged with attempting to possess a commercial quantity of an unlawfully imported border-controlled drug. 

Police launched an investigation in July following the arrival at Port Botany of the construction equipment and subsequent detection of the illicit cargo.
