Police arrested a 36-year old first and made two more arrests the following day n the carpark of a hotel in Sydney's central business district.

The three Australian men have been charged with attempt to possess a commercial quantity and the unlawful importing of a border-controlled drug.
A fourth man was arrested and charged with possessing identity information to commit an indictable offence.
"This has been a complex investigation and we know the methylamphetamine in this import was headed for a clandestine lab in the Sydney Metropolitan area for the extraction process to occur,” State Crime Commander Stuart Smith.
"We will conduct further investigations with our law enforcement partners to identify other people linked to the group."
The seizure has prevented approximately four million hits of ice hitting the streets, the acting regional commander for the Australian Border Force, Matt O'Connor, said.
