New Zealand officials have foiled an elaborate plot to smuggle methamphetamine worth NZD 250m ($156m) from Canada to New Zealand via maple syrup containers. The shipment, weighing 713kg, was the largest the nation has seen at its border. Authorities believe the shipment was arranged by an organized crime group that is also alleged to have smuggled several tons of methamphetamine to Australia in canola oil containers from Canada.
