A man from Kellyville, a suburb of Sydney in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW), was scheduled to appear before a NSW court after a multi-national police operation saw 300kg of methamphetamine hidden inside pressure washers seized by Canadian authorities, according to a joint media release between the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
An AFP investigation began in early October 2025, after the CBSA in British Columbia detected 300kg of methamphetamine hidden inside 36 cardboard boxes.
The consignment, labelled as pressure washers, was destined for north-west Sydney.
The RCMP Federal Policing Pacific Region removed the methamphetamine from the consignment and returned it to the freight system, alerting the AFP.
The container arrived in Port Botany, NSW, on November 13, 2025.
AFP officers then inserted an inert substance into the consignment to replicate the original weight and appearance, and conducted a controlled delivery. The consignment was delivered to a shed in Kurrajong, in the Hawkesbury region, north-west of Sydney, on November 27, 2025.
Police will allege two men, one being the Kellyville man, entered the shed that evening.
Both men were arrested by police, however the second man was released pending further inquiries.
Further search warrants were executed at a Castle Hill home and vehicle, with officers seizing electronic devices and documents.
The Kellyville man, 23, was charged with one count of attempting to possess a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug, namely methamphetamine.
This offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
He was granted conditional bail on February 24, 2026, by the Supreme Court of NSW.
AFP Detective Superintendent Morgen Blunden said the seized methamphetamine had an estimated street value of $277 million with the potential to be sold as three million street level deals.

“Methamphetamine, like all illicit drugs, negatively impacts users and their families, and Australia’s economy and healthcare system,” Blunden said.
“The AFP has a close working relationship with law enforcement around the globe and share intelligence daily to ensure we are well positioned to defend Australia from these threats.
“We thank our Canadian partners for foiling this plot before it reached the Australian community and wreaked havoc on our streets.”
Regional Director General of the CBSA Pacific Region, Nina Patel, said the CBSA was committed to stopping the smuggling of illegal drugs and disrupting transnational criminal networks.
“We work alongside the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Border Force to combat organised crime and protect communities, both in Canada and abroad,” Patel said.
