The couple were contacted by the scammers and told they had won two return tickets from Perth, seven nights in a hotel and brand, new luggage. The couple went to North America, and according to Sue, had a lovely holiday, but when they returned to Australia, they became suspicious of their bags; Sue though they seemed a bit heavier.br br The couple went straight to customs to report their suspicions and officers found 3.5 kilograms of methamphetamine hidden in the lining of each bag, a stash worth about $6.7 million (7 million Australian dollars). br br A man was scheduled to meet the couple, which led the Australian Federal Police to get a search warrant to inspect a hotel room in Scarborough. There, agents uncovered documents, suitcases similar to the ones given to the couple, as well as almost $15,000 in cash. A 38-year-old Canadian man was arrested at the airport that day in connection to the scam and charged with drug-related offenses.br br The Australian Federal Police believe the suitcases were swapped out in Canada. br br --------------------------------------------------------br br TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
