Printer Cartridges Contain Stash of Meth Instead of Toner

Printer ink is almost as expensive as liquid gold these days, which could be the reason why a drug importer recently tried to use printer cartridges for smuggling purposes.

The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service intercepted the offending cartridges at a Sydney airport and found them to be filled with around 7 kilograms of methamphetamine instead of toner.

The officers spotted white powder and immediately realized that something suspicious might be going on – after all, there’s not much call for white ink.

Once they had established that they had stumbled upon a major drug smuggling, they arranged for four of the boxes to be delivered to their intended recipient.

That led to the arrest of a 27-year-old woman in Melbourne, who we can assume had no requirements for white ink.

You can’t help thinking that dealing in actual, legitimate printer ink cartridges would have been easier and more profitable.
