Customs discovered bottles in 44 cases contained cocaine and methamphetamine.

Federal Police officers in Melbourne have intercepted almost 55 kilograms of cocaine hidden in a cargo of Mexican beer.

Nearly 700 cases of the beer arrived at the Port of Melbourne earlier this month.

Customs and Border Protection discovered bottles in 44 of the cases contained a liquid not consistent with normal beer.

Forensic testing showed they contained cocaine and methamphetamine with an estimated wholesale value of up to $14 million.

Victoria Police then delivered the consignment to a business in Tullamarine, where it was unloaded and sent to various addresses across Melbourne."

Overnight, a 27-year-old Yarraville man was arrested on importing charges.

He will face the Melbourne Magistrates Court today.

Police are still searching for several others they believe are involved in the syndicate."​
