Drug cartels are known to work secretly but they are not immune to slip ups and mistakes. And mistakes in their case mean immediate arrests and/or raids.
In one such case of an alleged 'slip up' by a clandestine drug peddler, an elderly Australian couple reportedly ended up receiving a drug package worth millions.

The couple from Melbourne discovered bags containing the white powder inside a parcel. The bags contained 20 kilograms of methamphetamine which has a street value of 7 million dollars in Australia.
The good thing about this incident that the meth haul didn't land in the hands of a curious teenager. Melbourne police spokesman told ABC that the couple had been "unsure of the significance of the find".?
The couple, who reportedly received the package, went onto help the police to nab the culprit. Police meanwhile also requested that not to be identified by media.
After an investigation, the cops found 20 more kilograms of methamphetamine in another Melbourne house and arrested a 21-year-old man, reports AFP.?
The man was charged with importing a ĄŽmarketable quantity of controlled drugĄ¯.
