NSW truck driver smuggles 145kg of cannabis across QLD border

A man from Greater Sydney attempting to cross the New South Wales border into Queensland has been charged for attempting to smuggle 145kg of cannabis.

Queensland police stationed at a Coolangatta checkpoint stopped the man during a routine check.

The man claimed that he was transporting goods from South Australia, but was unable to provide a valid permit.

Following a subsequent search of the vehicle, police found two vacuum-sealed bags of cannabis hidden inside a toolbox as well as two large hot water systems.

Police allege that the amount of cannabis the man was holding was estimated to have a street value of $1.2 million.
