Two more Canadians, this time a man and a woman from Vancouver, have been stopped and arrested at an airport trying to get into Australia with illegal drugs hidden in their luggage, police say.

The case further illustrates a growing trend of seizures at Australia’s borders.

A 27-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman flew into Melbourne from Vancouver on Saturday, where Australian Border Force (ABF) officers found four one-kilogram packages of methamphetamine inside each of their four suitcases, for a total seizure of 16 kilos.

The couple, whose names have not been released, were flagged for additional scrutiny.

“As a result of an officer’s intuition, these passengers were targeted for a baggage search. When the contents of the male passenger’s suitcase was emptied by ABF officers, they noted that it still seemed unusually heavy,” said Craig Palmer, an ABF regional commander.
