A man was charged for importing potent synthetic opioids from the UK, linked to fatal overdoses.
A 25-year-old man from South Nowra, New South Wales, has been charged with importing a marketable quantity of nitazenes—synthetic opioids up to 500 times more potent than heroin—via mail from the UK.
Authorities intercepted a parcel containing 3 grams of the drug in small blue pills, with evidence linking the man to the shipment through tracking data and encrypted messages found on his phone.
He was arrested in December 2025 and granted bail with strict conditions, including a ban on encrypted apps and travel.
The case, involving the Australian Border Force and AFP, highlights growing efforts to stop dangerous synthetic drugs from entering Australia, where nitazenes have been tied to fatal overdoses.
The man faces a maximum 25-year prison sentence and is due back in court in February.
