UK nationals charged after 107 kg of ketamine seized by Sydney police

A man and woman from the United Kingdom have been charged after Sydney police located and seized over 100 kg of ketamine in a rented car.
In a statement issued on Monday, the police force in the state of New South Wales (NSW) said that 2 kg of ketamine was initially seized at a northern Sydney unit on Sunday by officers investigating alleged drug supply in the area.
Three days later, police searched a northern Sydney hotel room and arrested a 30-year-old man and 23-year-old woman, both UK nationals.
Approximately 105 kg of ketamine was found during a subsequent search of a car allegedly rented by the 30-year-old man.
Several mobile phones, 1,400 U.S. dollars in cash and documents were seized from the hotel room.
The UK nationals were taken to a police station and charged with supplying prohibited drugs in larger than or equal to large commercial quantities, which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, and with the lesser offense of supplying drugs in larger than indictable quantities.
