A man and woman have been charged over allegedly trafficking $13 million worth of drugs between NSW and Victoria.

Events began when police intercepted a 2008 Toyota Prado driving along the Hume Highway in Wangaratta in north-east Victoria about 3pm on Wednesday.

During a subsequent search of the vehicle, officers allegedly found and seized about 33 kilograms of methylamphetamine hidden inside the vehicle.

The drugs have a street value of $13 million.

The 22-year-old man and the woman, 24, who are from south-east Sydney, were arrested and later charged with trafficking a large commercial quality of drugs.

Both were remanded and are due to appear in court today.

Detective Inspector Jamie Walker says police have “zero tolerance” for interstate drug trafficking.

“Our team has relentlessly tracked down offenders as part of this investigation and in turn have removed considerable quantities of drugs from the streets.

“Drugs are a major driver of crime – this investigation shows our ongoing commitment against the illicit substances trade within Victoria.”
