Three men have been charged after confiscating more than $ 150 million worth of methamphetamine and cocaine.
Police pointed to a shipment containing 230 kilos of methylamphetamine and 1.2 kilos of cocaine that arrived in Sydney from the United States last month.
The drugs are estimated to be worth more than $ 150 million.

Officers made a controlled delivery to a Prestons business last Saturday where two men, ages 21 and 22, were arrested while allegedly trying to access the delivery with an angle grinder.
They were taken to the Merrylands Police Station and charged with multiple drug-related offenses.
Both men were denied bail and will face court next month.
Officers also carried out a search warrant at a Cabramatta hotel and a Prestons business earlier this week where they found electronics and cash.
A 41-year-old man was arrested at the hotel and taken to Fairfield Police Station where he was charged with a drug importation offense.
He was denied bail and appeared in court yesterday.

Detective Superintendent Rob Critchlow said police will continue to dismantle drug import unions like this.
“We will continue to work closely and cut back on the benefits of those involved in organized criminal activities, bringing those responsible to justice and preventing these harmful drugs from reaching our borders,” he said.
