Melbourn (9News Au) – A 31-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly importing drugs into South Australia through the dark net.
The Port Neill man was arrested after Australian Border Force (ABF) and South Australia Police officers executed several search warrants at homes in Adelaide and the Eyre Peninsula.
The dark net is the use of the internet in a manner that is difficult for authorities to monitor.
Officers seized 910 doses of amphetamine-type substances, 280 LSD doses and 72 capsules and 15 grams of MDMA. A number of other powders and liquids, which the ABF will allege were to be used in making the drugs, were also seized.
Police will charge the man with 14 counts of trafficking in a controlled drug.
ABF Acting Commander Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Craig Palmer, said the arrest showed that Australia’s law enforcement authorities are working together to target illicit drug importation from dark net websites.
“We are well aware of these websites and take any attempts to import illegal border controlled drugs very seriously,” Acting Commander Palmer said.
The 31-year-old man could face a maximum of 25 years in jail, and a fine of up to $900,000.
