An organized crime task force has charged a Canadian man with importing about $15 million worth of methamphetamine from Mexico into Australia, and another Canadian is accused of trying to fly out of Costa Rica with 1,087 bars of marijuana chocolate in his luggage.

A 26-year-old man who is a dual national of Canada and France was arrested Monday in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. Police video shows a tall, thin, white man in a T-shirt and blue jeans being taken into custody. His name has not been released.

Australian Federal Police allege he imported 154 kilograms of methamphetamine, worth an estimated $15 million dollars in Canadian currency, by sea last month, hidden in a shipment of silver concentrate.

Highlighting the international nature of drug trafficking, it was a tip from police in India that led to the discovery of a shipment arriving in Australia from Mexico and the arrest of the dual Canadian-French citizen.
