Three men allegedly caught red-handed trying to import nearly three tonnes of illicit drugs are unassuming family men with a love for rugby and Pacific Island culture.

Akuila Bisasa, Solomone Komai Vukici and Jason Drollet, all aged 34, have been charged with trying to import 1917kg of ecstasy (MDMA) and 849kg of crystal methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of $1.5 billion.

The three were part of six men arrested at a Smithfield factory unit at 3.30am on Saturday by federal and NSW police in the largest methamphetamine seizure in Australia’s history.

The group allegedly has links to one of Sydney’s bikie gangs.
