Talk about a sneaky sausage.

The creativity of drug smugglers must know no bounds in 2018, with the difficulty of getting illegal substances into Australia continuing to increase.

During a targeted sting operation by Australian Federal Police and Border Force officials last month, approximately half a tonne of methamphetamine was intercepted on its way into Australia, reports the ABC.

How you ask? Concealed within four ‘sausage making’ machines.

The shipment, that could have been used to make approximately 1.7 million ecstacy pills, was destined for a supermarket in Sydney. Three men were arrested in relation to the smuggling operation, and are now facing life sentences.
