Australia faces rising drug smuggling attempts via roll-on/roll-off ships, using concealed illicit substances in imported vehicles.
Australia experiences an increase in drug smuggling attempts, with transnational crime groups concealing illicit substances, like cocaine, MDMA, and ketamine, inside imported vehicles via roll-on/roll-off ships. Criminals use offshore associates and insiders to hide drugs in vehicles, which are then sent to car dealerships. Authorities, including AFP and ABF, are working together to disrupt this illicit drug trade and have seized large quantities of drugs in recent years.
