A 24-year-old man landed in Auckland from New York with a staggering 16.8kg of meth—worth $17.6 million—only for chaos to erupt when customs seized his bag. He allegedly attacked two officers as they tried to detain him, punching one while fleeing and striking another during the struggle.

He’s set to face charges for drug importation and assault in court on September 22.
