A hidden meth lab has been uncovered and dismantled after Australian Federal Police (AFP) seized more than 100kg of meth-related products.

The clandestine lab was discovered during a search of a Fairfield East home in Sydney’s west on June 19.

Inside, officers found 77kg of drug-impregnated materials, 39kg of pre-manufactured methamphetamine, 35kg of liquid allegedly containing meth, and more than 600 litres of waste material.

Electronic devices were also seized and will undergo forensic examination.

This is part of an ongoing investigation into a criminal syndicate that began in October 2023, when 27kg of meth concealed in blankets bound for Australia was found in the US.

The shipment, which originated in South America and had an estimated street value of $25 million, was seized by US Customs and Border Protection, who then alerted the AFP.

The AFP traced the consignment to a phone number allegedly linked to previous failed import attempts.

In April last year, officers executed a search warrant at a Cabramatta property, seizing two devices linked to the attempted import.

Meanwhile, another search was carried out at a Canley Vale home, where police seized an encrypted communication device.

Further inquiries led investigators to the Fairfield East address, allegedly used by the syndicate, where the meth lab was uncovered.

AFP Detective Superintendent Morgen Blunden said those behind the operation showed no concern for the harm caused by illicit drugs and were only motivated by greed and profit.

“The people behind importations like this have no regard for the harm and damage that illicit drugs wreak on the Australian community every minute of every day,” Blunden said.

“I want to acknowledge the dedication and professionalism of all the AFP members involved in these investigations, from investigators and intelligence members to all of our other support capabilities.

“I also wish to thank our counterparts at NSW Police, in particular the Drug & Firearms Squad Chemical Operations team for their specialist and expert assistance in this matter.”
