Three men have been charged with being part of a criminal gang that smuggled about 750 kg of methamphetamine into Sydney in shipping containers.
Following a tip, Australian Border Force officials uncovered the loot stashed in a number of maritime freight containers that landed last month at Port Botany.
Police estimate that the 748kg of methamphetamine has a street worth of more than AU$675 million ($NZ745 million).
The NSW Drug and Firearms Squad detained three individuals in connection with the stockpile on Wednesday.
They were all denied bail and will appear in court later Thursday.
Later that day, NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb would address the media about the bust, together with top officers from the State Crime Command and the Australian Border Force.
