Over 900,000 doses of meth seized at New Zealand airport from woman arriving from Singapore

According to New Zealand Customs Service, the drugs were discovered when the woman arrived on Jan. 4 aboard a Singapore Airlines flight from Singapore. Officers uncovered 18 vacuum-sealed packages containing a white crystalline substance, which later tested positive for meth, Mothership reported.

Authorities said the haul could produce more than 922,000 individual doses, with an estimated street value of NZ$5.53 million (US$3.2 million).

Court documents cited by The New Zealand Herald show the woman is a New Zealand national, unemployed and listed as having no fixed address. She appeared in court on Jan. 5 and has been remanded in custody until April for a case review hearing.

In New Zealand, importing Class A narcotics, including methamphetamine, carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
