A 26-year-old Canadian man has been arrested at Auckland International Airport and charged in relation to the importation of $8 million worth of P.
The man, who had been living in Auckland, was stopped trying to leave the country today after Customs searched a package, declared as an ornate footstool, with 8kg of methamphetamine hidden inside.
The parcel was originally sent from the United States and weighed around 50kg.
Inside, officers at the Air Cargo Inspections Facility discovered what appeared to be a fibreglass and concrete block with a few decorative mirrors and beads attached to each surface.
